I apologize for not being clear and perhaps even sounding contradictory in my previous statement about the [Poll] button being disabled. I was referring to being able to poll (as in press the [Poll] button to force an update) an already running program that includes a Break statement.


There are at least two choices when using Watch and Break statements along with the [Poll] button.  

If you include a Break statement within your program you can only have data "polled" from the program at that location.  It happens automatically whenever the Break statement is encountered.  This is probably preferred for the use described in this thread.

If you do not include a Break statement you can then press the [Poll] button (enabled once the program is running) at any time to capture a snapshot of what the SX was seeing and doing at that particular moment.

So with a Break statement you can poll automatically but only from one program location whereas without a Break statement you can poll data from any part of the program but only when you press the button.


I hope this clarifies what I may have made confusing.
