Viewing Real-time Data
Real-time data is continuously retrieved from your devices and updated on the
screen at the rate you defined in the Instrument Setup.
To get real-time data from your device, select the device site from the list box on the
PAS toolbar, point to RT Data Monitor on the Monitor menu, and then select a data
set you want to view.
Organizing Data Sets

recommended for the use with the PM180. To re-organize data sets, select Data Set
from the Monitor menu or click on the button
on the local toolbar.
Some data sets are preset for your convenience and others are empty. You can
freely modify data sets.

on the PAS toolbar, and then click
on either the Poll button
or Continuous Poll button

You can open as many data monitor windows as you wish, either for different sites,
or for the same site using different data sets.
An open data monitor window is linked to the current site and does not change if you
select another site in the site list.
You can view acquired data in a tabular form or in a graphical form as a data trend.
