Section 7. Monitoring Data in Real-time

Hovering over the field name will display a pop-up indicating the source table,
full field name, and current value of the display item.

7.1.4 Customizing the Display of Data in the Monitor Data

Screen

Numerous data items can be displayed simultaneously in the Monitor Data
screen.

You can adjust the separator between the field names and their current values
by positioning the mouse over the dividing line and moving the line to the left
or right.

To adjust the number of columns shown, see the description for the Options
button below. To change the font size of the window, resize the main RTDAQ
window to a larger or smaller size and the font size will adjust automatically to
take up the window display area. If the full numeric value of a measurement
cannot be seen with the current width, you can bring up a separate screen by
right-clicking on the value’s name cell and choosing the View/Modify option.
The Modify function is primarily used for modifying variable values in the
Public or Status tables. Record numbers, timestamps, and stored data cannot
be modified.

7.1.5 Setting the Monitor Data Screen Options

The Options button allows you to set up the number of decimal places used to
show values in the display, control the display options for boolean values and
timestamps, justify data cells, set up alarms when data goes above or below a
certain value, control the number of rows and columns shown on the data grid,
and save or load the field monitor configuration. You may also activate this
configuration screen by right-clicking on the field display area and choosing
Options.

Highlight a cell in the main data display area to set the options for just that one
cell. You may set the options for multiple cells by holding down the Ctrl key
and selecting the set of cells to edit, and then pressing the Options button.
