When you connect to an attached nanoLC by clicking the “Run Connection Wizard” button, 
nanoNavigator displays a "nanoLC Connection Wizard" and performs one of several 
possible operations. The operations performed depend on the current state of the nanoLC 
and your selections. The possibilities are:
If no project is loaded in the nanoLC, nanoNavigator configures the project for the 
nanoLC. You can override this configuration (see “Configuring nanoNavigator” on 
If a project exists in the nanoLC, nanoNavigator lets you find the same project on the 
PC. If they are an exact match, it loads the project from the PC and configures the 
project as required.
If a project exists in the nanoLC and the project you select on the PC aren’t the same 
version, nanoNavigator gives you the choice of downloading the project or performing 
an upload and merge. Upload and merge keeps the flow chart programs as defined in 
the nanoLC, but uses the data item names, where they match with nanoLC data items, 
as defined in the project on the PC.
3.1.2
Create a New Project
This selection creates a new project. When selected, nanoNavigator displays the 
“Configuration” dialog box (see “Configuring nanoNavigator” on page 3-5). After 
configuration, a new flow chart window appears in the nanoNavigator workspace.
3.1.3
Open Last Project
This selection opens the project that was open the last time nanoNavigator exited. The flow 
chart that was most recently viewed appears in the workspace.
3.1.4
Open Existing Project
This selection displays a file selection dialog box open to the directory most recently used 
to save or open a nanoNavigator project with the “Files of type” set to display all “.nano” files 
in that directory.  
After nanoNavigator is open, the “Open Project’ button in the Standard toolbar and the 
“File... Open Project” menu perform the same operation. If there is a project currently open 
with any unsaved modifications, nanoNavigator displays a prompt requesting permission to 
save the changes before opening the new project.
3.1.5
Exit
Exits nanoNavigator.
nanoNavigator saves all project data, flow charts, and data items in one “.nano” file per 
project.
