Chapter 7: Monitoring and Debugging
One of the powerful features of PointeControl is the ability to monitor and
debug program operations while they are running on the Pointe Controller unit.
This chapter is divided into two sections:
Monitoring a running project
– This section describes how to use PCM’s
built-in tools to monitor the status and performance of the project while
it is running on the Pointe Controller unit.
Viewing and debugging charts
– This section describes how to use PCM’s
built-in tools to debug the project’s Flow Charts and Ladder Diagrams, by
manipulating individual tag values and block execution.
TIP: The information provided in this chapter is also available via the
PointeControl Monitor online help. To access the help, choose Contents from the
Monitor’s Help menu.
