# Run and Monitoring The Monitoring window is intentionally simpler than the Setup window. Its purpose is to **run a protocol that has already been created**, following the order of the processes listed under **Active Processes**. ![Alt text](../_static/monitoring01.png) The buttons shown in the figure above is described as: * **Show Parameters Summary** Opens a read-only view with all predefined parameters (main and process parameters), including their current values. * **Custom Data-Save Script** Opens the editor for a custom data-saving script. Use this to define how experimental data should be stored (e.g., file format, naming, metadata), based on a predefined class/template provided by the application. * **Start protocol** Starts the execution of the full protocol, running all processes in the order shown in **Active Processes**. * **Stop protocol** Stops the currently running protocol execution. ## Running individual processes In addition to starting the full protocol, each process listed under **Active Processes** includes its own option/menu to run that process individually. This is useful for testing a single process step without executing the full sequence. ## 🧑‍🏫 Tutorial Example For this tutorial, you only need to click **Start Protocol**. The application will execute the processes listed in **Active Processes** in order.
