Play Mode
Once you have finished configuring the interface, source data should be added to the capture data that is coming from the logger. This should be done before performing a run operation. When in Run Mode, the controls will be immediately refreshed according to the incoming data. You will be unable to do any configurations to the system whilst in Play Mode.

Edit mode
The Edit mode is set as the default when you open up the monitor software. By using this mode you can add controls to the Design window, set the properties of the placed controls, resize and move them, customize controls, add variables to the inputs of the control, customise variables, add multiple tabs and Save and Load Monitor profile files (MON files).

Set Data Source
You can either set a serial connection or a data file as the data source for the variables.

	Serial Connection
	To read data, you should select a port and set the baud rate. If you choose to get data via a GSM modem, then you should specify the telephone number.
	Read from file
	If your choose to set a .run file as the data source, the filename should be typed in the given box., before pressing the set button.

Exit
This function is used to exit to the system. You can either press the "X" mark at the top right corner of the window or, alternatively, press 'Alt' and 'F4' at the same time.

Load Profile( Layout ) Options

Clear current layout, and load the new one

Clears current layout (Clear and close all tabs) and loads the new layout.

Save the current one, clear current layout and load the new one

Current layout (all the tabs and controls on it) is saved, then clears the current layout and loads the new one.

Load the new one on-top of the current layout

New layout is placed on top of the current layout.

When loading one layout on top of other, their controls are added in the following manner:

Let us assume that current layout has two tabs with controls and new one has three tabs with controls. Then controls from new layout’s tab 1 and tab 2 are added on top of the current layouts tab 1 and tab 2 respectively. Third tab is created and added to the current layout. Finally current layout’s tab names are replaced by new layouts tab names.

Controls from the current layout may not visible after loading the new one, because they might be covered by the new ones. In such a case simply drag and drop the new controls to another place to see the previous ones.

Abort, and do not load the new layout

This option cancels the load layout operation.
