Managing Programs in MicroV+

The Program Manager displays the list of all programs currently in memory. From this list you can carry
our various operations on programs through the toolbar, the context menu, or by dragging elements in
the interface.

Programs in the Program Manager are physically on the controller. Until a program is saved, it exists in
volatile memory (RAM) only. See

Saving Programs in MicroV+

for details on saving files and modules.
