You can start a new monitoring session by clicking on the connect button in the GUI.
When the application is disconnected, as it will be just after starting up, the button will look like this.
After connecting, the button's appearance will change.
And the status panel will show the connected status.
When starting a new session, you may have to wait 30 seconds or more for initialization, mostly due to the large amount of data that must be loaded from the conditions database.
The application can be paused to suspend event processing and then step through individual events.
The control buttons will look like this in the un-paused state.
Clicking the pause button will change the buttons so that the play and step buttons are active.
Now you can use the step button on the right to process single events, or event processing can be resumed by pressing the play button.
Settings can be saved under Save Settings in the Settings menu.
