Selecting the view
In the right-hand pane of the program window of the DiagMonitor Management Explorer,
you can choose between three different representations. You can select these via the menu
item "View".
The following views are available:
•
Tiles: The elements of the sensors, for example fans or temperatures are shown in the list
view graphically in the form of a scale. The values to the left of the scale show the
permitted high and low limits. The value below the scale is the current value. To the right
of the scale, there are two pointers. These indicate the maximum or minimum value
measured up to now. To reset the max/min pointers to the current value, right-click on the
required element in the list view. Select "Reset interval values"
•
Icons: This view displays large icons and brief status information about the monitored

monitored devices.
