Managing Data Collection in the Watch Window

There are several settings for controlling data collection in the Watch Window. You can:

• modify the rate at which data is collected;
• pause or unpause data collection;
• and set data collection to pause automatically at a scheduled time.

By default, data collection for a block will pause automatically twenty-four hours after the block is added to the Watch Window. You can change this default.

When you start Hyperview, if you have Watch Window blocks that are not paused and are not scheduled to pause automatically, Hyperview will offer to pause them.
