Adds a new row to the Live Point Data window, for point selected in the Point Editor Window and with parameters selected in the Parameters Editor Window. The command also automatically determines the columns needed to display the relevant aspects of the data, and adds missing columns to the Live Point Data grid as necessary.
The command is disabled when no point is selected in the Point Editor window.
This command allows you to add many points at once. It invokes a point selection dialog with multi-select ability. Make your selection, and accept it in the dialog. All selected points will be added to the Live Point Data window. Each point will use parameters from the Parameters Editor window that correspond to its type.
This command performs a Read operation on all currently selected rows (or rows that contain any selected cells, including the current cell). The Read is performed with parameters that are currently set for it in the Parameters Editor window.
Each row that was read stops displaying the information from Subscribe, and changes the font to bold. Use the (Esc) or command to revert the current row, or all rows, back to normal state. This is done after you have viewed the results of the last Read operation and want to switch back to receiving updates from Subscribe.
You can also use Ctrl+R to invoke this command.
This command performs a Write operation on all rows that are currently in a Write state (as indicated by bold italic font). A row enters the Write state when you start typing into any writable cell of it.
You can also use Ctrl+W to invoke this command.
The values you enter are, by default, parsed (evaluated) before they are actually written. To configure this behavior differently, use the Options Command.

Subscriptions are performed in order to obtain the data from the data source. In the "off" state (offline). the Live Point Data window is not connected to the data source, and the latest obtained values are shown.
You can also use Ctrl+L to invoke this command.
