Section 7. Monitoring Data in Real-time

You may list the items alphabetically by checking the List Alphabetically
check box. When the List Alphabetically check box is not checked, the items
will be listed in the order in which they were declared in the CRBasic
datalogger program.

Drag and drop your selection onto the grid of the Monitor Data screen, or
after highlighting your selection, select the cell where the data value should
appear, and press Paste. If you want the Monitor Data screen to remain in
front for multiple pasting of selections, check the Stay on Top check box. You
may add values for monitoring from multiple tables to see activity in more than
one table at a time.

If you no longer wish to monitor a data item, highlight it on the grid and press
the Delete key. You can right-click on the item for removal and select Delete.
To remove all items from the display, the Delete All button can be used or the
function can be accessed as an option from the right-click menu.

7.1.3 Using the Start/Stop Button

To begin the process of retrieving values from the datalogger for display in this
screen, press the Start button. To discontinue this continuous monitoring,
press the Stop button. The Start button changes into the Stop button after the
screen begins displaying data. The Stop button becomes the Start button after
the data updates have been stopped.

All specialized real-time window display screens use Start and Stop buttons to
control the monitoring of data. Data values will continue to update when the
display is in active mode (i.e., when started with the Start button).
