Mark Control System Energy Technical Training: Trademark of The General Electric Company

This document provides an overview of using the Finder tool in ToolboxST to trace signals and see where they are used. The Finder tool allows tracing signals and finding where they are used in the application software. It has search and replace features and can search the entire system or more limited scopes like open components. Results show pin definitions, where used in software, and where used in hardware. Double clicking locations in results takes the user directly to that location. An example traces the LIGHT1 signal backwards to see it is controlled by the SWITCH1 hardware point.
