Feature Overview and Basic Operations

Feature Overview​

The monitoring features let you capture and display DIO and AD data in real time.

Function	Description
Real-time multi-channel monitoring	Monitor up to four connected channels simultaneously.
Log file export	Automatically saves monitored DIO/AD data to CSV files in the specified PC folder.
Display modes	Monitor Window provides Single View for one channel and Dual View for two channels side by side. Dual View can also display a LIN protocol channel alongside DIO/AD data.
Latest data view	Each ID Window lists only the latest DIO and AD values so you can grasp the current state instantly.
Filter view	Not available for DIO/AD.
Label highlighting	Apply custom labels to DIO data that meets specified conditions and highlight it with custom text/background colors.
Trigger control	Automatically start and stop log file output when the configured conditions are detected.

This makes it easy to keep an eye on multiple monitoring points and immediately spot key data.

In this chapter, the terms “monitoring” and “logging” are used as follows:

Item	Monitoring	Logging
Behavior	Displays DIO/AD data in real time within the GUI.	Saves DIO/AD data as CSV files in a specified PC folder.
Data retention	Collected data is stored only in the application’s memory and is cleared when the app closes.	Files remain on disk even after the app closes, so you can analyze or share them later.
