The Live Point Data window contains a grid, where each row represents data for a particular combination of point and parameters, and the columns represent various aspects of the data, including the value itself. You can add, remove, and modify the information contained in the grid. In addition, you can also transfer the information from the grid to other places and programs, including Excel.

Selecting Information

There are also commands on the Edit menu that provide selection features.

Modifying Information 

Writeable cells are visually distinguihed (by a different background color). You can navigate to the cells, and enter a new information into it. By doing so, the whole row stops displaying the information from Subscribe, and changes the font to bold italic. After you have modified the cells you want, you can use the Write command (Ctrl+W) to perform a Write operation on all rows that in Write state.

Use the Release (Esc) or Release All command to revert the current row, or all rows, back to normal state. This is done either because you have changed your mind and do not want to write the row(s), or after you have viewed the results of the last Write operation and want to switch back to receiving updates from Subscribe.

Viewing Information

You can resize columns by dragging in the area of the vertical divider lines between them.
