Monitor blackbox

Only available in: BSS and BMS

Monitoring a black box shows the current state of the black box.

Monitor a blackbox

A blackbox can be monitored one ship at a time. To open the monitor screen, right click the mouse on the relevant ship in the ship overview screen and choose Monitor blackbox from the pop up menu. A connection with the blackbox is being attempted. If succesfull, the monitor screen will gradually fill with data.

Note: if you would like to see the communication from and to the blackbox during monitoring mode, you first have to open the Terminal screen.
