Abstract:

Method of pausing and resuming data collection data collection and displaying the paused and resumed data collection conditions particularly suited to networked computers in a server/client configuration including collecting data item(s) for a first process by a second process on at least one computer in response to a request from the first process to collect the data, during collection of the data item communicating a pause command from the first process to the second process, pausing collection of the data by the second process in response to the pause command, storing a time reference at which the data collection was paused, communicating a pause record to the first process as an indication that data collection has been paused, and optionally displaying a pause indication on a display device. The method may also include communicating a resume command, the second process resuming collecting data in response to receipt of the resume command, resuming collection of the data by the second process, storing a resume time reference, and optionally displaying an indication of the resume time. Advantageously, the pause indication consumes a minimum space (or no space) on the display device.
