monitor or group of monitors:

Warning: Do not attempt to reactivate a FlowShark
monitor using the Communications tool if you are adding
any devices to or removing any devices from the
configuration. Reactivating the monitor after making
changes to the devices selected will render all data stored in
the monitor memory inaccessible. ADS recommends using
the Diagnostics tool to reactivate monitors receiving a new
configuration including a modified device selection.
Reactivate a monitor using the Communications tool only
when the device selection remains unchanged.
