Column Setup

When you select Add or Properties from
the column pop-up menu, the Column
Setup window appears:

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.

Enter a command to run another program after the hourly reports have been
generated in the External Program field. The External Program field acts as a
command line interface and automatically issues the specified command after
each hourly report is generated. For example, you can issue a command to run a
batch file that performs custom report processing. Click the Test button to
immediately execute the command.
