    Chapter 5 Monitor Function T he purpose of the monitor function is to record communication data into files without affecting the communication lines. Also, it is to display data clearly following each communications protocol. Not only communication data but also time stamp for data frame and idle time are recorded. As a result, error time and time out conditions are investigated.
