A flow chart is a type of diagram that uses symbols to illustrate a control process. The
symbols in the flow chart depict two classes of items: action blocks and branching blocks.
For a detailed discussion of action and branching blocks, see “Flow Charting Primer” on
page 2-8.
3.1 Starting nanoNavigator
Each time nanoNavigator software starts, it displays the “nanoNavigator Startup” dialog box
(see Figure 3-1). The following sections describe operation of nanoNavigator for each of
these buttons.

3.1.1 Run Connection Wizard
The nanoLC operates in two modes:
– “Run mode” is the normal operating mode, and the mode required for connecting
nanoNavigator to the nanoLC. In Run mode, a project on the nanoLC can be either
running or stopped.
– “Monitor mode” permits monitoring operations directly on the nanoLC. When the
nanoLC is in Monitor mode, nanoNavigator cannot connect to it.
For more information on directly monitoring on the nanoLC, see the “nanoLC Hardware
User Manual.”
