Cygnus Editor Operating Manual
4.2.2.6 The Freeze and Start/Stop Controls
The Freeze Screen button ( Figure 4-12 ) on the Control Panel stops the plotting
of data collected, which allows the plotted data to be easily studied or reviewed.
Freeze is essentially pausing the display but doing nothing to the data collection.
Data collection continues in the background while the display is frozen and the
Freeze Screen button is colored yellow. Pressing the yellow Freeze Screen button
will unfreeze the display and update the graph with all the data collected since the
button was pressed. There is an equivalent Freeze button on the toolbar.
Moving the Data Cursor will also Freeze the display during data collection.
NOTE: Changing the X-axis to 60 minutes or greater, when the Trend Graph is
scrolling, will automatically freeze the display.
The Start/Stop button ( Figure 4-12 ) on the Control Panel serves a dual purpose.
When data is being collected, the button can be used to stop collection, which also
stops the display. When data collection is stopped, the button can be used to start
collection and the display. Stopping data collection results in the data being saved
to disk, if the Auto Save Monitor function is enabled, or discarded. Starting data
collection from this button starts a new collection session. There is an equivalent
Start/Stop button on the toolbar.

WARNING
Stopping the data collection when Auto Save Monitor is
not checked will discard all data collected since the
Monitor was started. There is no warning or prompt when
this action is taken.
4.2.2.7 The Monitor Properties
To access the Monitor Properties ( Figure 4-13 ), click on the
Monitor>>Properties... menu item or right-click on the Trend graph and click on
the context menu item Properties.
