Data Feed
The 'Data Feed' panel will display in-coming data if the computer is properly connected to the data-feed source.  The panel displays the current status of the data connection and in-coming data.  The in-coming data box will show symbols as they are received.  'Packets' displays the number of in-coming data packets on the data-feed.  The Show Log is an aid used by Ensign's staff to watch portions of the data feed when solving data-feed reception problems with a customer.

Subscription Status
The Status should show 'Subscriber' or 'Trial'.  If the Status shows 'Expired' then call Ensign Billing at 208-552-2230 for help.   New users have a 7-day trial period to use the software before an order must be placed.  Click this link for more information.
