Real Time Monitoring vs. Passive Monitoring

The data values displayed on the Connect Screen’s data displays (Table Monitor, Numeric Displays, and Graphs) are updated differently based on whether or not you are actively connected to your datalogger. The differences are described below:

Real Time Monitoring (Actively connected to the datalogger)

Table Data Dataloggers

Public variables and final storage data are updated based on the Update Interval. Note that data can be updated no faster than the data values are being generated by the datalogger.

Mixed Array Dataloggers

Input locations are updated based on the Update Interval. Note that data can be updated no faster than the data values are being generated by the datalogger.

Final storage data is retrieved only when data collection from the datalogger occurs (initiated manually from the Connect Screen or based on a schedule). Therefore, the final storage information on the data displays will be updated only as often as data collection is performed.

Passive Monitoring (Not connected to the datalogger)

Table Data Dataloggers

Public variables and final storage data are retrieved only when data collection from the datalogger occurs (initiated manually from the Connect Screen or based on a schedule). Therefore, information on the data displays will be updated only as often as data collection is performed for these dataloggers. Public variables will be updated only if the Public table is included for scheduled collection on the Setup Screen.

Mixed Array Dataloggers

Input locations are not updated.

Final storage data is retrieved only when data collection from the datalogger occurs (initiated manually from the Connect Screen or based on a schedule). Therefore, the final storage information on the data displays will be updated only as often as data collection is performed.
