1.On a map, select Retrieve Live Data from the right-click menu, or select Actions > Retrieve Live Data from the map toolbar.

2.Select the target devices. By default, this action applies to the existing devices on the map. To customize target devices, click the icon.

Tip: To bulk execute commands, click the icon to select Load CLI Templates. You can also create your own template, or select each device entry in the action panel to add or remove specific commands.

▪NCT table

Tip: To save the retrieved data as the latest copy for future analysis and comparison, select the Auto update all selected data in Current Baseline check box.
