Results
By default, the data replays at the same rate it was collected or written to the log. You can choose Fast Forward mode in which the log replays without simulating the refresh interval. To Fast Forward, use the button in the tool bar or click Setting > Log Replay > FF.
To rewind a log file, click Setting > Log Replay > Rewind or use the Rewind icon in the toolbar.
While replaying the log, you can choose different groups to view by selecting them in the Resource Selection pane. You can also view the data in either of the views available in the tabbed Data Monitoring panel.
You can stop and resume the log at any point. However, you cannot replay data in reverse.
