Pausing data collection for a block in the Watch Window

Pausing data collection for a block in the Watch Window

You can see and change the most commonly changed options for each block using the icons in the block list: Hv-ww-block-list-icons.png


Click the Pause icon No tool ww point status green.png to pause or resume data collection for a block. The clock icon color gives important information about the state of live data collection for that block:

  • Green means data is being collected successfully.
  • White data collection is paused.
  • Grey means stale data or that the Watch Window is trying but failing to collect data for the block (check your live data connection).
  • Blue means the Watch window cannot collect data for the block, because although there are live data connection configured and running, none are supplying data for the PCU to which the block belongs.

Data collection can also be paused by clicking Pause Data Collection on the Block menu, or Pause Data Collection after right-clicking on the block in the block list.

You can also pause or unpause data for an entire group at once.
