Status Window
The Status Window contains a list of signals that are selected for monitoring. The
Status Window displays the following information for each signal:
• The type of signal:
for analog, for serial, for high digital, and
for low digital.
• The signal name.
• Analog signal values, in decimal (default) or percent format. (To specify
percent format, select Show Analogs as Percent from the Options menu.)
• Serial signal values, in ASCII (default) or hexadecimal notation. (To
specify hex, select Show Serials as HEX from the Options menu.)
As digital signals transition in real time, the icon next to the signal will change to
reflect the new state. With analog and serial signals, the new value will overwrite the
previous value.
