Stopping the PAC from running

You have a program running in a PAC.

you go to site to do some debugging by connecting to cbus via CNI.

You run PICED and add some more code and then run LOGIC to debug..

How do you stop the existing code running in the PAC while you are doing this ??? (with out unplugging)

You can't.

I have added it to the "to do" list.

 

I was thinking about doing this...

Setting up a group address called PAC Disable.


and then in the logic

a Module Called "Testing"

If ISPac then
Begin
once (IfLightingState("PAC Disable") = ON then
begin
disablemodule("xxxxxxxx")
disablemodule("yyyyyyy")
end
once (IfLightingState("PAC Disable") = OFF then
begin
enablemodule("xxxxxxxx")
enablemodule("yyyyyyy")
end
End


Is the a better way ?? ( for now)

That is probably best for the time being.

 

Reviving an old thread found in search to see if another solution is available, or is this still the best option?

 

I do the same only to display all sorts of debug messages in HomeGate. It works well.

If <spare_switch> = ON then display all writeln code, If OFF then skip these lines of code. This is a quick way for me to see if all is well.

 

Yes. You could also use the logic Halt statement.
