To acquire mastership of a Run Control:

The lock symbol at the bottom right corner symbolizes the mastership over connected Run Control server. A single unlocked lock denotes that every Run Control GUI has equal access to the server. A single locked lock denotes that one of the other GUIs is the master. A lock with a key denotes that this GUI is the master. Click on the lock symbol to change the status of mastership.

To configure a run:

An option menu with all selectable run types appears after the "Configure" button has been pressed. Select one of the run type from the option menu and click "Ok" button on the dialog. The selected run type will be configured into the Run Control server,

To download a run:

All remote or local processes in the select run type will undergo download state transition after "Download" button has been pressed. The processes of ROC will be asked to dynamically load user specified object code. All the other processes with type other than ROC will just go through internal state transition,

To reset a run:

This is last resort to restore the Run Control server into a consistent dormant state.

When number of events or number of data (in Kbytes) reach the event limit or data limit, the Run Control server will end the run automatically.
