Break
Purpose Interrupts the RiverPro/RioPro without erasing present settings.
Format <BREAK>
Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description A BREAK signal interrupts RiverPro/RioPro processing. It is leading-edge triggered and
must last at least 300 ms. A BREAK initializes the system, sends a wake-up (copyright)
message, and places the RiverPro/RioPro in the DATA I/O mode. The BREAK command
does not erase any settings or data.
Using BBTalk, pressing the End key sends a BREAK.
Software Breaks can be used with BBTalk and WinRiver II. The RiverPro/RioPro will use
the “= = =” string instead of a break.
