The controls on the Home | Summary screen start and halt execution of all your processes (Figure 52). For additional controls or to control processes separately, use the Manage Processes | Manage Processes and Files screen.

MemoryScape cannot generate information while a process is running, so it automatically halts the program for you. You are later asked if you want to resume execution.

While your program executes, MemoryScape graphically displays the memory usage, reflecting a pattern of memory use. If you see that the graph’s shape is different from one run to another, you may learn when to halt the program and inspect memory. Or, if memory use grows sharply and unexpectedly, you may want to stop the program and see why.
