Reading state of task

Borte

Hello,

I want to be able to get the state of a spesific task from a separate background task on a IRC5 robot running multitasking.

I have tried with the command RunMode(Main) but this only monitors the connected motion task (how do I connect a motion task?).

I have also looked at using sytem outputs and building a system uding event routines but it should be a easier way than this...

What I'm looking for is a command similar to the RunMode but with the option of specifying the task I wanna look at.
Have anyone had any luck with doing this?

Cheers
Borte

Hi Borte,

 

I've had the same problem, and solved this by setting and resetting some booleans and let those check in the main task. I for a period the boolean did not change, a error appears.

Hope this helps.

You can use the System Output TaskExecuting and map it to a signal for each task you are interested in monitoring. This might only be supported in 5.11 or higher.
