Breakpoints

PC-DMIS NC supports breakpoints. You can use breakpoints as a debugging tool in PC-DMIS to stop execution and step through your measurement routine. However, breakpoints only affect the PC-DMIS execution; they do not stop the execution on the NC server machine.

Before you start a measurement routine on an unattended server, you should remove any breakpoints from your routine as well as any other commands that require a response to a prompt.

Statistics update commands (STATS/UPDATE) require a response from the user. To automatically update the database instead, select the Always Update Database option on the Dimension tab of the Setup Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup).

Several variations of COMMENT commands also require a response, so be sure to also remove those comments running the measurement routine on the server.
