Pausing and unpausing data collection for entire watch groups

Click the Pause icon on the group's tab. The color of the icon indicates the current status of the blocks in the group:

• all blocks are collecting data
• data is stale for all blocks in the group
• all blocks are paused and not collecting data
• some of the blocks are paused, while others are collecting data

This can also be accomplished by checking or unchecking Groups | Pause All Blocks in the main Watch Window menu.
