Numeric Properties

Setting the Poll Rate

You can view a dynamic line graph to monitor any numeric property in
EMS. Each graph scrolls continuously according to the poll rate, which
has a default of five seconds. You can view graphs for as many properties
as you want at the same time.
To monitor a numeric property:
1 In the explorer tree, select an element that contains a numeric value.
2 Select any numeric property from the right pane of the main EMS
window.
3 Right-click the property, and select Monitor from the pop-up menu.
A monitor dialog box opens with specific information about the property.
You may display as many property monitors as you want. The display will
update as often as set by the Poll Rate. To change the poll rate, see
Setting the Poll Rate
4 Click Start to begin monitoring.
The graphing starts, based on the poll rate value. While the graphing
proceeds, the Start button is replaced by the Pause button. Use the Pause
button to interrupt the graphing process.
5 To change the rate (the default is five second) see
page 183 below.
6 Click Close to exit the monitor dialog box.
The poll rate determines how often the property monitor is updated
(refreshed).
