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/Nexus215/pages/11374208) 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).

You select the items and any sub items to be configured with the **System** tree or Subjects tree in the middle of the **Resources** pane. The nodes displayed in the tree depend on whether you are viewing the **System tab** or the **Subjects** tab in **the Resources pane**.

For more information, see [System Resources nodes](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus215/pages/11379448) and [Subjects tab](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus215/pages/11374140).

You view and change settings for the item selected in the resources tree in the **Properties** pane at the bottom of the **Resources** pane. The contents of this section depend on the node selected in the **Resources** tree.

For information about the available properties, see the *Properties* section for the required node in [System Resources nodes](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus215/pages/11379448).

To see additional settings for the selected node, click **Show Advanced** at the top right of the **Properties** pane. To show basic settings only, click **Hide Advanced**.
