Selecting Watch Window will launch a diagnostics tool that

Using the Stop icon on the Tool Bar will stop all motion and
programs that are currently active in the SM-EZMotion.
The Stop icon will toggle on and off meaning that once it is

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

continuously update until it is deactivated. This is different
from the Where Am I found on the Program Toolbar.
3.3.2.21 Hide/Show Hierarchy

By default, the Hierarchy is visible on the PowerTools Pro

If the hierarchy is not visible, select Navigation Tree to
make it appear again.

information from the help file related to the object that is
clicked with the mouse. To use Context Sensitive Help,
click on the CSH icon on the Tool Bar, 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 the parameter on any of the PowerTools Pro views that
the user wants help information for.
3.3.3 Hierarchy
Figure 6 shows the Hierarchy as found in PowerTools Pro.
The Hierarchy 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. Once the use clicks on a given branch on the
Hierarchy, that view is then displayed on the right-hand
side of the screen.
Groups on the hierarchy can be expanded and collapsed
much like with Windows Explorer. To expand a group of
views, click on the “+” symbol next to the grouping. Doing
so will show each of the branches available within that
group. To collapse a group on the Hierarchy, click on the
