Figure 7-1: RT Data Monitor Window
You can open as many monitor windows as you wish, either for different
sites, or for the same site using different data sets. An open data monitor
window is linked to the current site and does not change if you select
another site in the site list.
You can view acquired data in a tabular form or in a graphical form as a
data trend.
Organizing Data Sets
PAS supports 33 programmable data sets with up to 40 data parameters.
Set #0 is intended for simple meters, which have a limited number of
parameters, and is not recommended for the use with the PM135 . To re-
organize data sets, select RT Data Sets from the Monitor menu or click
on the button
on the local toolbar.
