You can configure Database Manager to automatically update the spreadsheet by enabling the Auto Refresh option. This option periodically refreshes the values in the spreadsheet. You can enter refresh rates between 5 and 3600 seconds.
By automatically updating the spreadsheet, you can troubleshoot your database by monitoring specific blocks. Should you identify an error, you can correct it and immediately see your change's effect.
You can temporarily disable the automatic refresh option by pausing the spreadsheet. Pausing updates instructs the Database Manager to stop updating the screen. It does not affect SAC or the scan status of the blocks in the database.
NOTE: Database Manager automatically pauses updating the screen when you add, modify, delete, or generate blocks or when you print, reload, or import the database.
In addition to automatically refreshing the screen, you can manually update it whenever you want to refresh the values in the spreadsheet. Manually updating the screen can be particularly helpful when you automatically update the spreadsheet infrequently, and can be used in conjunction with the automatic refresh option to update the screen more frequently than every 5 seconds.
