Data Provider
Performance details and configuration settings of the selected Data Provider. If the Data Provider does not use a Data Server then details about the query execution time are listed. The configuration settings are read-only. To change the configuration settings of a Data Provider you must adjust the Data Provider in your presentation with the PADS4 Designer application.
Data
The real-time data that is delivered by the selected Data Provider including optional filters. If your Data Provider uses a Data Server then this is the data that the PADS4 Viewer has received from the PADS4 Data Server.
Unfiltered Data (If no filter is specified, this Tab will be invisible.)
Contains the data retrieved from the source without filter specified. The user is able to specify a filter in the Data Provider wizard.
TIP
If your Data Provider uses PADS4 Data Server to collect and deliver real-time data, then you can use a combination of the Data Providers window and the Data Server window to check the delivery of real-time data. In the Data Server window you can check if the real-time data is collected correctly by PADS4 Data Server. In the Data Providers window you can check if the collected data is delivered correctly to your PADS4 Viewer by the Data Server.
