Track the state of a component

Designate project components for tracking to monitor the current state of a component. Tracked components and their current state appear in the
Tracked Components
 dialog box, which is accessible on the
Controller Properties dialog box - Security
 tab.
TIP:
You can also track the state of constant tags by selecting the tags in the
Tag Editor
 or
Data Monitor
.
To track the state of a component:
  1. In the
    Controller Organizer
    , highlight the component to track.
  2. Right-click and select
    Include in tracking group
    .
  3. To stop tracking a component, right-click and select
    Include in tracking group
     again.
    TIP:
    If you plan to use the tracked state value to verify that code in a tracked routine is being executed, make sure to track all the routines that call the tracked routine, up to and including the main routine. If you do not track all components that call the tracked routine, a user could modify the project so that the tracked routine is no longer called.
