About the NI-FBUS Monitor Interface
The NI-FBUS Monitor consists of windows and data objects. The main
window is the large desktop window that contains all other windows of the
NI-FBUS Monitor. It has a menu bar and various toolbars. The smaller
windows inside the main window are filter windows. Each filter window
uses a single filter to determine what data the NI-FBUS Monitor captures.
The main data object that stores these captured data packets on a disk and
holds the data in memory is called the capture document. You can use the
filter window to view the data in the capture document. You can attach
several filter windows with the corresponding filters to the capture
document.
When you select New from the File menu, the NI-FBUS Monitor creates
an ew capture document and a corresponding filter window. The filter
window displays data from the capture document. Each filter window has
an exclusive filter attached to it that you can view as a dialog box. To
display the filter, select Filter Settings from the Capture menu. You can
use the filter to determine what data the NI-FBUS Monitor displays in the
filter window and what data it saves to the capture document. To add a new
filter window to the document, select New Filter Window from the
Capture menu. Adding a new filter window attaches a new filter window
and filter to the document. You can use the new filter to filter different data.
