Low power mode

Can the BS2 be put in a low power mode like END and then have the program start running again on command? I am looking for some way to put my system into a low power mode for battery saving, and then be able to "wake it back up" with another command.

    You can use the SLEEP or NAP statements to put the BS2 in a low power mode for a specified period of time. There is no way to have the BS2 awake on an external stimulus. What you can do is to "sleep" most of the time and periodically check for some external condition which, if true, will cause the program to do some processing, then go to sleep again.
