Column Setup
When you select Add or Properties from the column pop-up menu, the Column Setup window displays:
• Use the Input droplist to select the variable displayed in the column.
• Use the Type droplist to select the way in which the value displays: either as an integer, as an on/off state,
as an integer with a kilo, mega, or giga suffix, or as an hh:mm:ss time stamp. This defaults to the
appropriate type for the selected Input variable.
• Use the Name variable to change the column heading name.
• Use the Width variable to specify the column width in characters.
• Use Color0 to set the column character color when the value is zero.
• Use Color1 to set the column character color when the value is not zero.
• When done, click OK to save your changes and return to Port Monitor.
Report Configuration
To configure reports, select Config from the Edit
menu.
The Single report options cover all ports and are
overwritten each time the reports are generated.
The Multiple report options generate a separate
report for each port, and each report file is
appended each time the report is generated.
For Hour reports, use the Single and Multiple
droplists to select whether you are generating
single or multiple reports, or both. For each report
type, select from the following types of data to
include:
• None: no report is generated.
• Hour Data: only variables with “Hour” in the
name are included.
• All Data: all variables are included.
• View Data: only variables that appear on-
screen are included.
The External Program field is used to enter a command line to run another program after the hourly reports
have been generated. For example, you can use this to run a batch file that performs custom report
processing. The Test button causes the command line to be executed immediately.
For Day reports, the single and multiple droplists behave the same, but your choices are:
• None: no report is generated.
• Day Data: only variables with the words “Day” or “Raw” in the names are included.
