View | Use Live Data

LoggerNet - When selected, RTMC Pro uses the data that has been collected by LoggerNet and stored in LoggerNet's data cache. Therefore, if LoggerNet is running and data is being actively collected from the datalogger network, the values displayed by the components will be updated as data is collected. However, run-time events (audio, email, run/open, alarm acknowledgement, switch state changing, value changing, value forwarder, etc.) will not be active. When Use Live Data is not selected, RTMC Pro does not use the data stored in LoggerNet's data cache. Therefore, the values displayed by the components will not be updated until RTMC-RT is launched.

RTDAQ - When selected, RTMC Pro performs a manual poll to update the project data every second if RTDAQ is connected to the datalogger. Therefore, if RTDAQ is connected to the datalogger, the values displayed by the components will be updated every second. However, run-time events (audio, email, run/open, alarm acknowledgement, switch state changing, value changing, value forwarder, etc.) will not be active. When Use Live Data is not selected, RTMC Pro does not perform manual polls to update project data. Therefore, the values displayed by the components will not be updated until RTMC-RT is launched.
