A finished, already run sequence, is marked with a blue check mark – in this case the Gradient Echo (GRE).
A sequence which is ready to be run, but which isn’t run yet, is marked with the orange check mark – in this case the Spin echo (SE).
A sequence which is not yet ready to be run is marked with a small grey pencil – in this case the Balanced Steady Sate Free Precession (bSSFP).
Right clicking a pulse sequence allows one to rename, delete and clone pulse sequences.
Double clicking a pulse sequence opens it, which allows one to set the parameters and slice position.
After a pulse sequence has been configured, planned and saved, the ‘Run this pulse’ button can be clicked, a loading bar will then indicate the simulation progress. Finished images are automatically loaded on a viewer. Alternatively, the ‘Run all (x)’ button can be clicked, which runs all prepared and saved sequences, top to bottom.
The time on the pulse sequence describes the time it would take to run the scan in real life (00m 01s for the GRE in the above image). SAR is indicated as well. Last, the amount of images/slices of a sequence is indicated by the small image icon and its corresponding number.
Any resulting image from a pulse sequence can be displayed by clicking and dragging the image icon on the pulse sequence to one of the three viewers.
