To display the COM Add-in toolbar button, go to tools…Customize…Toolbars. Select the Commands tab, and in the Categories field, highlight the Tools selection. In the Commands field, find "COM Add-ins…" and drag it up to your toolbar. Now close the customize dialog box.
Once you have the "Com Add-ins…" toolbar button, you can disable and enable cc-Pulse by selecting the toolbar button. This will bring up the COM Add-ins dialog box. Uncheck cc-Pulse to disable, and check cc-Pulse to enable cc-Pulse.
Disabling cc-Pulse will not hide the cc-Pulse toolbar, to do so right click on any toolbar, and uncheck cc-Pulse.
