Named Configurations PingPlotter Pro allows you to run multiple targets in a single instance. You may not want to use the same settings for all of these targets, though. Maybe you have different expected latencies and need your good / warning / bad colors displayed at a different point. Maybe you want to use ICMP packets on one target, and TCP packets on another. Maybe you want to auto-save data from some targets, but not others. PingPlotter Pro allows you to do this with the concept of "Named Configurations". Each named configuration can be associated with any number of targets, and changing the settings for this configuration changes that setting for all targets that are using it.
To create a new named configuration, just right-click on any existing configuration and select either "New Configuration" or "Copy Configuration" from the popup menu. Selecting "New Configuration" will use whatever PingPlotter Pro default values are, while copying the configuration just makes a duplicate of the configuration you right-clicked. Once you've created a new configuration, you should rename it. In fact, once you create a new one, you should also change the "Default Settings" to a more appropriate name (like ICMP Packets, or something that identifies it well when comparing with the new configuration you just created).
Just change the label and enter a description (if you want to describe what you're doing with this, so you can remember later). Some example configuration names are: TCP Port 80
Any changes you make to a specific configuration are not carried over to any other named configurations. The "Summary" screen's display settings come from whatever configuration is first in the list. To make a configuration work on the summary screen, move it to the top of the list using the right click menu. Using the "Set as default" option from the menu moves the selected configuration to the top of the list. The configuration at the top of the list is the default configuration. |
