OPTOCONTROL USER'S GUIDE - Opto 22

QUICK START
In the OptoControl window, you’ll notice that the Debug toolbar is now available. The mode
is shown at the bottom of the main window. The open chart window shows that the
strategy is stopped, as shown in the following figure:

Running the Strategy
In Debug mode, we’re going to run our strategy and examine it. We’ll see how the strategy run
affects variables, how the command blocks are executed, and so on. The first chart to run in any
strategy is the Powerup chart, so we’ll look at it first.
1. Double-click the Powerup chart on the Strategy Tree. When it opens, notice that it says
Stopped at the bottom left.
2. Click the Run button .
At the bottom of the chart window, the word Stopped changes to Running. Let’s try pausing
the program to see where we are.
