3. In the Chart1 monitor/debug window, click the Enable Logic Flow and

Enable Debug Trace tools on the toolbar.

You now have a snapshot of the program’s logic flow, highlighted in yellow and
updated at a regular interval. The logic flow shown is the last 200 program blocks
executed each time the monitor collects a snapshot. The snapshot is taken based
on the Monitor update interval that you defined previously. (See “Building the
Project Runtime” above.) If the interval is set to 100 milliseconds, then a snapshot
will be taken every 100 milliseconds.

Flip the first switch on the OL2201 module and watch what happens. Depending
on whether the switch is on or off, you should see the logic flow change. Watch
the lights on the OL2109 output module. When the switch is in the on position,
lights for module outputs 0 and 1 should alternate. You should be able to see this
same alternating pattern in the logic flow.
