Chapter 3 Lookout Runtime Menu Commands
© National Instruments Corporation 3-3 Lookout Operator’s Manual
Caution The File»Close command shuts down process execution—be sure that this is
what you want to do before selecting this command. Your Lookout application may be
controlling critical processes, and shutting it down could cause serious problems.
File»Close All
Security Level: 8
Shortcut Keys: none
The File»Close All command halts execution of all currently loaded
processes. Except that it closes all open processes, it works the same way
the File»Close command does.
File»Save
Security Level: 9
Shortcut Keys: none
The File»Save command saves the currently executing process to disk.
Lookout replaces the old process file on disk with a new version that
reflects all changes made: new or deleted objects, different display
characteristics, new or modified I/O connections, setpoint adjustments, and
so on. This includes saving changes to the .l4p, .lks, .l4t, and .lka
files. See Chapter 2, Lookout Basics, for more information about these files.
File»Save All
Security Level: 9
Shortcut Keys: none
Operates the same way the File»Save command does, except that it saves
all open process files.
File»Print»Alarms and Events
Security Level: 1
Shortcut Keys: none
Use the File»Print commands to print alarm and event reports. When you
select one of these commands, a dialog box appears, prompting you to
specify the time span to be printed. Use the Print Range option to specify
any arbitrary time span. See the Alarms menu items for more details on
filtering and printing alarms and events.
