Monitor port status

When monitoring ports, you can change the port monitoring delay by using the sliding scale along the bottom of the Ports window. Modem signal values are only correct for open ports. Ports in the closed or waiting state may not display the correct modem signals. When monitoring ports, the Refresh button can be selected at any time to update the port fields.

Note The wish interpreter is used to support the GUI. The wish tcl interpreter needs to be in the Linux "path" before the dgrp_gui command will work.
