**Example**

This object checks for processes in the Task Manager of your machine.

Therefore, in this example, we will be passing the required parameter to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*processName* = Calculator

In the output, you can see that the Boolean value, True, has been returned. Hence, as also evident in the Task Manager, the Calculator process is currently running.
