Periodic Breakpoints (NI 7350 only)

Periodic breakpoints require that you specify an initial breakpoint and an ongoing repeat period. When enabled, the periodic breakpoints begin when the initial breakpoint occurs. From then on, a new breakpoint occurs each time the axis moves a distance equal to the repeat period, with no re-enabling required.

For example, if an axis is enabled at position zero, the initial breakpoint is set for position 100, and the breakpoint period is set at 1,000, then the axis behaves as shown in the following figure.

Periodic Breakpoint Algorithm

The following figure shows the basic algorithm for periodic breakpoints applicable to both C/C++ and LabVIEW code.
