Data Watch	Data watch in Cscape provides the capability to monitor, in real-time, the status of registers/variables in a controller.
Chart Recorder	This feature allows Data to be sampled from a target controller and to be plotted over time.
Clear the Memory	This clears (erases) the selected memory items of the attached unit.
Debug and Monitor	Cscape provides a built-in Ladder Logic Debugger. This option provides a live, real-time indication of the operation of the controller.
Diagnostics Procedure	Diagnostics in Cscape provides the capability to monitor the errors and warnings of the controller. This dialog displays the result of the diagnostic self-test in the target unit.
Forcing	Allows physical inputs to be overridden or physical outputs to be activated.
Online Change in Advanced Ladder	Online change is the ability to modify the executing control logic while the controller is in RUN mode.
