Each Device in the Projekt Explorer has a Checkbox on the right side of the name:
Activating this Checkbox will start the Device. That means the incoming data of the related Source will be received, processed and stored into the database.
This process can be stopped by selecting the Checkbox again (removing the activating mark):
Note
Using a File Import or Binary Source the Checkbox is marked grey (deactivated). The process of reading the data will be started immediately after closing ('OK'-Button) the Source Configuration Dialog window.
Logging
Starting and Stopping is shown also inside the Logging protocol:
