2.5 Activating a monitoring task
When SM2 is called for the first time during a session, the SM2 monitoring task is activated.
This is an internal task which collects the monitored data, edits it, and stores it in a central
buffer. From this buffer, the data is transferred to the various SM2 user tasks or to the SM2
output file for output. If different offline and online periods are selected, the monitored data
is written to two central buffer stores.
The precise time at which the SM2 monitoring task was initiated and the online or offline
period selected is given in the SM2 MEASUREMENT STATUS under SM2 GATHERING
TASK CREATED AT, ONLINE PERIOD, OFFLINE PERIOD.
