Note If you enabled system filtering for the dashboard, you can only select
generic data sources, or data sources that are not specific to one system.
For example, Health.Memory.Total is a generic data source,
whereas NI-cRIO-9042-01E10AB8.Health.Memory.Total is
specific to that particular cRIO system.
