lock probe window to latest value / Highlight latest proble value / auto-select probe

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Current situation:

The probe-window shows a list of all current probes on its left side (including value string and timestamp) and the detailed value of the selected probe on its right side. The selection of “the probe of interest” must be done manually which is not very comfortable.

 

Suggestion (numbers refers to the image below):

1. Add an indicator which highlights the latest, updated probe.
Additionally I suggest to show a number (maybe instead of the timestamp) whereby “1” stands for the newest probe value.

2. Add a "lock" button to the toolbar of the probe window. If "lock" is set, the probe selection automatically changes to the latest updated probe.

3. Add a checkbox in front of each probe entry. If "lock" is set, the checkboxes become enabled and checked by default. Unchecking one means this probe will ignored for auto-selection function.
