How to pause a stacked sequence structure?

[@@@]

I'm working with a program that compares two date/time inside the stacked sequence structure. In a particular frame if 2 date/time are differents the sequence structure will not advance to the next frame, but when the 2 date/time are equals will turn the next frame.

Thank you

Hi,

You can use an case structure,  with an while loop inside it. To reserve resources use "wait on front panel activity" inside the loop. The case structure should be controlled by the code that determines of the date are identical...

But this isnt the most elegant way... Sequences arent the best way to do this.. maybe you can consider a state machine.

Hello Suguruk,

I agree with Bart, I think you should use a state machine more than a stack sequence... and about the pause, well, have a look at the example attached, it is a basic state machine with 3 "task" cases and 2 "transition" cases (transition form case 1 to 2 and 2 to 3).

Feel free to ask for further comment or ideas if you need.

I hope this will help you 😉

Hi,

definitivelly you should use an state machine.
