11.2.2 Data Monitor
The Data Monitor tool is used to monitor data transactions for specified parts. The transaction
list is updated whenever data changes are triggered. Several data Monitors can open to
monitor specific part types.
The Title bar of the Data Monitor dialog displays the monitor number. This is useful when
more than one Data Monitor is open.
Option:
Pause Checkbox: Enables/Disables transaction updates. Use this when transactions are scrolling too fast to stop them
for a snapshot of transaction history.
All Object Checkbox: Enables/Disables activating the transaction history for all objects on the active windows.
Monitor Object: Select the parts to monitor. If there are no parts of the type selected, the transaction list does not update
that part type; other types on active windows are updated.
