Once you’ve got your list saved, in PingPlotter go to "File” -> "Load Target List File," navigate to your list file and open it - and PingPlotter will load up the targets from the list. Once you’ve got everything added in, save the file with a “*.lst” extension. In a text editor (notepad works just fine here) create a list of your addresses - one target per line. You’ll want to make sure your list is formatted correctly to accomplish this. If you’ve got a list of IP addresses, DNS names, or both, you can “bulk add” them into PingPlotter Pro as well. A tab *won’t* be opened if you’re using this method - but it’s a good way to quickly add targets and start tracing to them. Targets added via this method will automatically start tracing and are added to your list of all targets (and if you’re on a custom summary screen, they’ll be added to that summary as well - we cover this in more detail in the summary graphs section). If you’re on a summary screen in PingPlotter, you can quickly add targets by entering them in the “Target name” field, and pressing the start button (or the enter key on your keyboard). Wondering how to get another “(new trace)” window open? You can use the "File" -> "New Target" option, or, in the Windows version of PingPlotter Pro, just click on the “+” symbol in the upper left hand corner of the program. If you’ve just opened up the program for the first time, odds are you’re on a “(new trace)” tab - and the “Target Name” field is empty (with a blinking cursor in it):Īll you need to do is (if you haven’t guessed it by now) enter your target’s DNS name or IP address in the empty field, and hit the big green “Start” button on the left hand side (the “enter” key on your keyboard works here as well). There are a few ways to add new targets to PingPlotter. There’s no “hard limit” on the amount of targets you can add in PingPlotter Pro - but we’ve successfully tested up to 250 here at Pingman HQ. PingPlotter Pro can be used to trace to multiple different targets within the same instance (and each target’s configuration can be independently managed, too!). PingPlotter Standard can trace up to 2 targets simultaneously in the same instance.
