Using Indicators to View Probed Data

In addition to creating a custom probe or using one of the supplied probes, you also can use an indicator to view the data points that pass through a wire.

Complete the following steps to use an indicator to view probed data.

  1. Right-click a wire and select Custom Probe»Controls from the shortcut menu.
  2. Select an indicator on the Controls palette to display the data. For example, you can use a chart to view numeric data. You also can click Select a Control and select any custom control or type definition saved on the computer or in a shared directory on a server or navigate to a custom control you created using the Create New Probe dialog box. The data type of the indicator you select must match the data type of the wire you right-clicked.
