8.3 Viewing Files On-line
Sometimes, it is useful to review a particular piece of historical data on-
line at the time you expect new events to appear in the log. Power
Software allows you to retrieve historical data from a particular log
without storing it to a file. The data appears only in the window on your
screen. You can save it manually to the database.
To view the log data on-line, check the On-line button
on the Power
Software toolbar, select the log you want to retrieve in the Logs menu,
and then click on the Poll button
. Only new log records are retrieved
from the device. If you want to review the entire log from the beginning,
click on the Restore log button
, and then click on the Poll button
.
NOTE
When reading multi-section profile data, only the first section is available
for reading online.
See Chapter 9
