number. Adding a program will take you directly to the new program view. Can not be used while online.

condition still exists, the error may reactivate immediately after clearing it.

4.5.19 Watch Window

parameters while online. For more information see Drive Menu on page 18.

4.5.21 Stop

Using the Stop button on the toolbar will stop all motion and programs that are currently active in EZMotion. The Stop
button will toggle on and off meaning that once it is clicked to stop motion and programs, it will remain active until it is
clicked again. Until the Stop is toggled off, motion and program will be prevented from being initiated.

4.5.23 Global Where Am I?

Same as Device > Where Am I? from the menu bar. Selecting Where Am I? will launch a utility that shows the user
what line in a user program is currently being processed. If multiple user programs are running simultaneously, the user
will be asked to specify which Task they wish to follow. A blue arrow will appear next to the active line of the program.
The global Where Am I will continuously update until it is deactivated. This is different from the Where Am I found on the
Program Toolbar.

4.5.24 Hide/Show Hierarchy Tree

Same as View > Show Navigation Tree on the menu bar. By default, the Hierarchy tree is visible on the PowerTools Pro
screen. Some users with low resolution monitors wish to hide the hierarchy tree to allow for more room while
programming. To hide the hierarchy tree, select Hide/Show Hierarchy Tree from the toolbar to remove it from the
display. If the hierarchy tree is not visible, select Navigation Tree to make it appear again.

4.5.25 Help Contents

Same as Help > Help Topics on the menu bar. By selecting Help Contents, the help file will be launched allowing the
user to lookup and read information related to EZMotion and PowerTools Pro software.

Using Context Sensitive Help (or CSH) will show detailed information from the help file related to the object that is
clicked with the mouse. To use Context Sensitive Help, click the CSH button on the toolbar, the mouse graphic will turn
from a pointer to a pointer with a question mark next to it. Once the mouse pointer graphic changes, click on a parameter
on any of the PowerTools Pro views that the user wants help information for.

Hierarchy Tree

Figure 8 on page 12 shows the Hierarchy Tree as found in PowerTools Pro. The Hierarchy Tree is a navigational aid that helps the
user step through a configuration. The different parameters related to configuring the system are grouped into logical groups and
placed on different views within the software. To see a certain view, the user simply selects that view from the Hierarchy Tree. Once
the user clicks on a given branch on the Hierarchy tree, that view is then displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.
