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 Group | Pause All Blocks in the main Watch Window menu.
