Monitoring the Project

Once nanoLC has a project downloaded to it, nanoNavigator can start, stop, and monitor its

execution by viewing flow charts and data items. nanoNavigator can even modify data

items, inputs, and outputs.

To monitor the project, follow these steps:

Select the “nanoLC... Run nanoLC!” menu.

Select the “nanoLC... Monitor” menu. This displays the “nanoLC Monitor” window (see

Figure 2-35). For more information about this window and how to use it, see “nanoLC

Figure 2-35

The “nanoLC Monitor... Flow Charts” tab

The “nanoLC Monitor... Flow Charts” tab displays the status of all data items in the current

Select any block in the flow chart to display data item values in that block. This also brings

the “nanoLC Monitor... Blocks” tab to the front. For more information, see “Blocks Tab” on

Execution Tracking

Use nanoNavigator to view the execution track of any flow chart in the project. In Monitor

mode, open flow charts automatically provide execution tracking. Execution tracking is the

display of color-coded blocks to indicate whether or not blocks were recently executed. The

color coding is:

–

Green: Always executed on every scan

–

Yellow: Sometimes executed

When attempting to monitor a stopped project, nanoNavigator provides the opportunity to

automatically begin execution on the nanoLC.
