The **Resources** pane contains the following elements.

> Macro (scroll-only)

> > Macro (toc)

You can hide, pin, and unpin the **Resources** pane to ensure you use the available screen space as efficiently as possible (see [Customize the Vicon Nexus user interface](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus212/pages/11249405/Get+to+know+Vicon+Nexus#CustomizeUI) in the *Vicon Nexus User Guide*).

## System connection buttons

Nexus has two operating modes: Live Mode and Offline Mode. The system status indicators at the top of the **Resources** pane make it easy for you to immediately identify the current operating mode and the hardware connection status.

- Live mode connects the system and starts real-time streaming.
- Offline mode disconnects the system and stops real-time data streaming. Previously captured and saved data can be played back offline (see the following table).
