Breakpoint on Step Activation
When the step goes from the inactive (no token) to the active (token) state, then breakpoint mode is set for the next cycle. The current cycle goes on executing normally. In particular around the step where the breakpoint is placed, before breakpoint mode is really set:
- All P0 actions, linked to all previous steps that become inactive, are executed.
- All P1 – S – R – N actions, linked to the step that becomes active, are executed.
This illustrates cycle execution when a breakpoint on step activation is encountered.
The behavior of setting a breakpoint on step activation is the same as setting a breakpoint on step deactivation of the previous step. Whether placing a breakpoint on step activation or on deactivation of the previous step, the target executes the break at the same moment.
To set a breakpoint on step activation
- Right-click the step, and then clickSet Breakpoint on Activation.
