7.3.1 The Debugger Window

The Debugger window displays a real-time view of the selected chart’s activity
and provides tools to interactively control the program flow. The currently active
block is always highlighted; as the program flows, different blocks are
highlighted as they become active.

A toolbar containing icons for each of the tools available to the debugger
appears below the title bar. Most of the tools are usable in both Flow Charts and
Ladder Diagrams, but

some tools are for Flow Charts only

. Each tool is described

later in this document.

Below the toolbar is a workspace area in which the chart is displayed. Scroll bars
will appear as needed to view the diagram, based on

magnification level

and size

of the diagram.

The cursor is always in Select mode within the Debugger window. Any chart block
may be selected by a single-click. Object selection enables some of the tools in the
toolbar and disables others.
