Having selected points to monitor, the Configuration Tool displays the points in a table as shown in
Figure 13 below. The data value and communications status can be monitored. Selecting ‘Live Update’
allows the point to be followed continuously (noting that this adds to the communications to the
controller). With live update, the data is updated according to the ‘Update Rate’ setting.
