Availability Devices
(Menu) : Processors » Processor 16 » Pause

Description This command enables you to pause operation of the currently focused MCU, in the Soft Devices chain of the Devices view.

Use This command is only available when the Devices view is configured to be 'Live'. To enter this mode, ensure that the Live option in the Devices view is enabled.

Also, ensure that the MCU that you wish to pause currently has the focus in the Soft Devices chain of the view. A device on the chain is given the focus simply by clicking on its corresponding icon in the chain.

After launching the command, the focused MCU will be temporarily paused. This is verified by the text above the device's icon changing from Running to Paused.

Notes Using this command will pause execution of the embedded code. Upon resuming, the code will continue executing from its current position. This is different to a Reset, whereby the MCU is totally reset. In this case, the code will begin execution from the start, as though it had just been freshly downloaded.

Operation of the MCU may be resumed by using the Continue command.
