The Status Monitoring screen allows you to configure items to be monitored in real time.
To set up status monitoring, follow the steps below:
Click on the Select Monitoring Item(s) tab to open it:
Select desired items using the check boxes and then set the High Word and Low Word items. Before any items in a group can be selected, the top level group descriptor (the colored bar) must be selected. Once all desired items in a parameter group have been updated, click Change.
Note: The more items you set to monitor, the slower the updates will be. With large numbers of items, time between updates can be as slow as 0.5 to 1 second in length. With just 1 or 2 items, updates occur much faster (< 0.1 seconds)..
Click Save Changes, then click Run.
Go back to the Monitoring Item tab and you'll be able to see real time data for your chosen items in the [X] column.
To stop real-time monitoring, click the Stop button.
