What is the Memory Watcher panel ?

The Memory watcher panel allows you to display the value of events or datas in real time.

WARNING

Memory Watcher is a convenient tool for a global overview of all events and datas available in ALMemory.

Datas coming from the sensors are pushed into ALMemory at 2Hz, thereby, Memory Watcher is not the right tool to manage sensor datas at a high rate.

Memory watcher has a recording function allowing you to save a .CSV file containing the history of event or data values during the recording.
