NI Distributed System Manager

Monitoring Data Items in Data Item Ranges

Complete the following steps to create a new Watch List view for data item ranges or add a data item range to an existing Watch List view.

  1. In the system tree, right-click a data item range and select Watch List from the shortcut menu. The System Manager displays the Add Item to Watch List dialog box. You also can drag a data item to an existing Watch List view to display this dialog box.
  2. In the Items from range text box, enter the data item to monitor.
  3. Click the OK button to create a watch list for the data item.
Note  You can create a Watch List view for multiple data item ranges or multiple system tree objects that include data item ranges. You also can add these system tree objects to an existing Watch List view. When you create a Watch List view for these system tree objects or add these system tree objects to an existing Watch List view, the Add Item to Watch List dialog box does not appear. The System Manager adds the first data items of the data item ranges by default.
