to run.
As the phase runs, you can use the command buttons to Hold, Restart,
Abort, Stop, Pause, Resume the phase.

then select Yes to confirm the reset.
You can run this phase as many times as necessary to test it. When you
are done testing, release control back to FactoryTalk Batch so the phase
can run as part of a recipe.
10. Select the Release command button, and then select Yes to confirm the
release.
A procedure stops running if a phase is unable to acquire the needed

In this exercise you manually acquire a phase, run a procedure to view an
arbitration situation, and then resolve the arbitration issue.
