To run data polling, check the 'On-line' button
on the toolbar, and then click
on either the 'Single poll' button
or 'Continuous poll' button
. When in
continuous poll, you can stop it by clicking on the 'Stop' button .
You can open as many data monitor windows as you want, either for different
sites, or for the same site using different data sets.
When you open a data monitor window, it is linked both to the current
site and to the selected data set. If you select another site from the site
list, this does not affect the open data monitor windows. They are still linked to the
sites for which they were created.
Changing the Data View
PAS can display data in either a single record or multi-record view. To change the
view, click with the right mouse button on the Data Monitor window and select
either 'Wrap' to see a single record, or 'UnWrap' to go to the multi-record view.
Adjusting the Number of Rows in a Multi-Record View
Click with the right mouse button on the Data Monitor window and select
'Options'. Adjust the number of records you want to see in the window, and then
click 'OK'. When the number of retrieved records exceeds the number of rows in
the window, the window will scroll up so that older records will be erased.
Saving Data to a File
You can save retrieved data to a file for later analysis. Click on the 'Save' button
. Select the type of a file in which you want to keep the data. The choices are
the ASCII *.dtl file and the *.mdb database. The ASCII files can hold only data of
one type, while the .mdb file can hold all types of data in a single database, both
real-time and historical data.
