Where UD devices are able to run specific rows or programs based on other programs... ie. program b is able to run if or then sections of program a or what ever program you want to call. Yes, with the Ocelot the "Skip to" command that was added in C-Max 2.0 allowed that kind of nested programming, where a logic test allowed you to skip over one or more logic tests. It really came a full ladder logic machine with that. I had asked Dan Smith at ADI to add that, along with the modulo math operator. Good memories of those days! With that, it became possible to script programs like the C language: If (condition) { If (other tests) Then.... } As I told some C programmers at the time, the "Skip to" command translates to a "{" in C (that skips to the matching "}" ) if the logic test is false. The complier hides that from you!
