Different controls, different jobs
- Home view changes only the camera.
- Reset machine restores the simulation state. It does not delete saved files or reset your program, and it does not end or extend the session.
- Extend session (+60 min) requests another hour for the running session.
- End session shuts down the lab and saves its workspace.
Try it
- Find the simulation’s connection indicator and read its status. A connected indicator is not proof that a machine program is running.
- Move the camera and use Home view.
- Press Reset machine, following any confirmation shown. The scene returns to its starting state; a stationary machine may show little visible change.
- Return to the learning page. Find Lab details, Extend session and End session.
- Press Extend session (+60 min) once and check the confirmation. Do not keep extending just to complete this course.
The normal session starts with two hours. Extensions add an hour, up to a 12-hour continuous-session limit. If you see the expiry warning, choose Extend only if you intend to keep working; otherwise finish and use End session. You do not need to wait for that warning to complete this practice.
When connection health reports a problem, return to the learning page and reopen the affected window. Do not assume Reset machine repairs a lost connection.
Outcome
Read connection health and distinguish session controls from Reset machine.
Practical check
- Identify the expiry warning and Extend/End actions; demonstrate that Reset machine is not a project-file reset.
