This may be a bug in SX-Sim.

MacGeek117

Whenever I try to put a PAUSE command in a program, SX-Sim stops·at it. I have attached a sample program for you to test.

P.S. There are no errors in the program that I know of.

RobGeek,

I assume that you use "Run" to execute the program with SXSim. Does SXSim really stop at the code SX-B has generated for the PAUSE command? You should notice that the register display, and the fields showing the cycle count and the execution time are updated every second - at least, this happens when I test your code here.

Even when you run SXSim on a pretty fast Windows machine, it simulates the SX by no means in real-time but much much slower. Where he "real" SX will execute the instructions for PAUSE 1000 in one second, SXSim in minutes only. Maybe, this makes you believe, SXSim has stopped. Sorry for that inconvenience - seems as if I'll have to write another, much faster "SX engine" for SXSim one day.

That makes sense! Thank you again! Yes, the cycle counts are updated.
