When you want more than one tab on a single tab (combined tabs), you begin the item with a ‘[‘. [[br[]
Then you list one single tab (including position and spacing information) per line, and then end the item with a special tab name “Title” followed by a ‘(‘ and the title you want on the combined tab, followed by a ‘)’, and then close the combined tab item with a ‘]’. [[br]]
The position and spacing information and the Title line are optional. [[br]]

The position and spacing information are indicated by an opening ‘(‘, followed by 4 items separated by colons ‘:’.[[br]]
 - Row - starting row (zero relative) for the combine tab[[br]]
 - Column - starting column (zero relative) for the combined tab[[br]]
 - Row span - how many rows the tab will occupy[[br]]
 - Column span - how many columns the tab will occupy[[br]]

This set of entries (taken from the Configure Tabs display of a normal production gui on jove, describes how the Guider1 combined tab is drawn:

{{{
[Guider1Image(0:0:3:1)
Guider1Control(0:1)
Guider1MetrologyControl(1:1)
Guider1MetrologyData(2:1)
Title(Guider1 Camera)]
}}}

If you look in or edit the tcsGui_xxx.ini file you we see a slightly different syntax in the mainWindow/tabs ini file entry.[[br]]

{{{
[mainWindow]
detachedTabs=@Invalid()
maximized=false
minimized=false
tabs=TrackerStatus, Tracker, Trajectory, [Guider1Image(0:0:3:1), Guider1Control(0:1), Guider1MetrologyControl(1:1), Guider1MetrologyData(2:1), Title(Guider1 Camera)], [Guider2Image(0:0:3:1), Guider2Control(0:1), Guider2MetrologyControl(1:1), Guider2MetrologyData(2:1), Title(Guider2 Camera)], [TTImage(0:0:3:1), TTControl(0:1), TTMetrologyControl(1:1), TTMetrologyData(2:1), Title(TT Camera)], [ACQImage(0:0:3:1), ACQControl(0:1), ACQMetrologyControl(1:1), ACQMetrologyData(2:1), Title(ACQ Camera)], [PVImage(0:0:3:1), PVControl(0:1), PVMetrologyControl(1:1), PVMetrologyData(2:1), Title(PV Camera)], [WFS1Image(0:0:3:1), WFS1Control(0:1), WFS1MetrologyControl(1:1), WFS1MetrologyData(2:1), Title(WFS 1 Camera)], [WFS2Image(0:0:3:1), WFS2Control(0:1), WFS2MetrologyControl(1:1), WFS2MetrologyData(2:1), Title(WFS 2 Camera)], VirusEnvironment, [CWFSImage(0:0:3:1), CWFSControl(0:1), CWFSMetrologyControl(1:1), CWFSMetrologyData(2:1), Title(CWFS Camera)], [PFIPControl(0:0), PFIPEnvironment(0:1), FCUControl(1:0), Title(PFIP/FCU Control/Status)], ProbeAssembly, [BIBImage(0:0:3:1), BIBControl(0:1), BIBMetrologyControl(1:1), BIBMetrologyData(2:1), Title(BIB Camera)], Production, [HPF_ACQImage(0:0:3:1), HPF_ACQControl(0:1), HPF_ACQMetrologyControl(1:1), HPF_ACQMetrologyData(2:1), Title(HPF_ACQ Camera)], ProbeControl, VideoSwitch, FocalPlaneShutter, Apc, [Dome(0:0:2:1), Shutter(0:1), Structure(0:2), DMI(1:1), Title(Legacy)], PFIPEnvironment, WeatherData, Igloo, PFIPControl
}}}

Also, notice that the Legacy tab is now a combined tab that combines the individual Dome, Shutter, Structure and DMI tabs into a single Legacy tab.[[br]]
There is still the original Legacy tab that combines all of these with using this syntax, but that tab is deprecated and will be removed soon.
