resulting in a Decrement, until a minimum value is reached. Therefore, the value will ramp up
and down between high and low limits.
• For pulse accumulator points, the Increment field is similar to analogs, except that the value
will wrap after exceeding the logical maximum for the protocol. Except when exceeding the
wrap-around value, the value never decrements
• Digital points contain a Toggle Mask field instead of an Increment. After every response, the
value is Exclusive-ORed with the mask to produce a value for the next transmission.

The line monitor view shows communication messages in raw and interpreted format. Raw data
is shown in the left pane and interpreted data in the right pane. Clicking on data in either pane
highlight the data selected and also the corresponding data in the alternate pane. In the sample
below, the user clicked on the DNP3 Destination address field in the interpreted pane to show
the corresponding data bytes in the raw data pane.

8.4.2. Raw Text Export
Beginning with version 2.20, the user can right click the line monitor panes and select "Export
Raw Text Data" to save the raw data to a text (.txt) file. This can also be re-imported if the format
is unchanged.
8.5. Messages View
The Messages View is an alternate presentation format containing the same information as in
the Line Monitoring view. One message is shown per line making the Messages View a more
compact presentation than the Line Monitor, but with (initially) less interpreted information about
each.
