Auto-Continue Execution

Auto-continue execution: This check box determines whether a comment that PC-DMIS displays during execution closes itself after a specified number of seconds. By default, this check box is not selected.

Operators may find this useful when they use a measuring device that is not near the computer, and they want the execution to continue after a certain amount of time. If you select this check box, the Execution delay (in seconds) box becomes available.

Execution delay (in seconds): This box defines the number of seconds to delay execution while PC-DMIS displays the comment. You can specify any number of seconds from 1 to 600, inclusive.

• If you use an execution delay with a movie file and the movie's play time exceeds the delay value, PC-DMIS waits until the movie finishes playing before continuing.

• If your movie value is shorter than the specified execution delay, the comment displays until the execution delay counts down to zero.

During execution, the software displays a count-down timer on the Operator comment type's OK button inside parentheses:

For the Yes / No comment type, it appears on the Yes button.

Once the timer reaches zero:

• For an Operator comment, execution continues as if the operator clicked the OK button.

• For a Yes / No comment, execution continues as if the operator clicked the Yes button.
