Freezing the Trace Display
When the AMS is powered up and connected to the MultiView software, the AMS sends blocks of 100 readings to
MultiView every 100 milliseconds. MultiView displays the data continuously in nearly real time. That means that
the display is constantly moving. If you notice a spike in one of the traces, it could scroll off the left side of the
display and disappear in as little as half a second, depending on the display settings. MultiView includes a
Hold
feature that lets you freeze the display (though not the data stream).
1)
To freeze the trace display, click
Hold
(shown below). The
Hold
button changes to
Release
and the traces stop
moving, but the AMS continues to send data to MultiView.
2)
To resume the trace display, click
Release
. The traces jump ahead to display the most-current data and start
moving again. If the hold is long enough, some of the data received might not be displayed, when the trace
resumes.
