Launching the PointeControl Monitor

To launch PCM from within the PointeControl development framework, either
click the Activate Monitor toolbar button or choose Activate Monitor from
the Window menu. To launch PCM from the Windows Start menu, choose Start
> Programs > PointeControl > M o n i t o r. When you launch PCM, the
PointeControl Monitor window appears:

The PointeControl Monitor window is roughly divded into two halves. The top
half of the window is a control panel that is used to download and run finished
control programs on the Pointe Controller hardware. The bottom half of the
window is a tabbed set of displays that show the status and performance of the
program as it runs on the controller. For more information on monitoring
program performance, see Chapter 7, “Monitoring and Debugging,” starting on
page 193.
