6.5.10 Monitor the Scanner
When in the Monitoring mode, the graph displays the current working area of the scanner. Use this function to verify that
the designed Safety and Warning Zones are designed correctly (provide the desired protection). This function is also used
to watch the functioning of the scanner during operation. The Monitoring function is only available when an online scanner
has been selected.
Tip: If you click on Monitoring and receive a message that the scanner is busy, verify that the software
has access through the Window's firewall.
On the left panel, the software displays the scanner status (if it is currently functioning). It is also possible to view some
parameters like response time by clicking on the Parameters icon, view pin assignments by clicking on the Connector icon,
or view fault information by clicking on the Diagnostic icon.
