Repeat
This element allows a program to repeatedly execute one or more elements.
Set the number of times that you want the elements to repeat or click the check box to have the
elements repeated continually.
If you choose to repeat continuously, the program will repeat forever, until the program is stopped
(by selecting Stop from the popup menu) or by HCA itself terminating (maybe due to a power
failure).
There is more information on how to construct programs using the Repeat element later on in this
chapter.
Resume and Suspend
The suspend element is very similar to the suspend menu selection for devices, programs, and
groups. In the properties of this element the device, program, or group is chosen and the type of
suspension is selected. A item can be suspended from:
 Schedule control. Any schedule entries for this item don’t happen while the item is
suspended.
 Program control. Any On, Off, or Dim elements of any program don’t control the item while
it is suspended.
 Remote control. Any command received for a program or group doesn’t start the program or
control the group.
The Resume element is used to undo the effects of a Suspend.
