Tektronix TG700
This connector monitors the nodes in the system and polls all the supported modules.
About
The connector schedules all polling so that no polling happens at the same time. Users can delete any removed module manually or select to have it removed automatically. If a response times out, the card will go in timeout. By changing the View Name indicated in the element, you can have the created DVEs added in a different parent view. Finally, there is a Control Center page, which can be used to send a query or set a parameter.

On the left side of this page, you can send a query or set a value. To do so:
Select the Current Module where the query or set should be applied.
