Hi Monie,
Could you explain your problem in more detail?

Hi LeighM

I Want like to be able to use RTC anywhere in the codes also outside RTC - LOOP-END

Want to be used outside the unit RTC LOOP END

The code below does do not work globally. works only in the same LOOP END ...

Hi LeighM
Have made RTC Date and Time work outside the LOOP where Time and Date were first set.
That was the only way I could get RTC to work outside the setup.

Do you have a better proposal for codes?

See update file below!

Hi Monie,
Looks like you have it working.
The RTC can be called anywhere.
The Flowcode simulation step and break-point functions are useful for stepping and checking the overall logic of your program.

Hi LeighM

Trying to use The Flowcode simulation step and breakpoint functions!
But in Simulation speed I can only set the number "0.25" can choose others but at the start of Simulation it returns to "0.25".
Want to set simulation step to Normal and be able to save the selected number.

Hope you can see what I'm doing wrong ;-)

Isn't there one here! That will describe how Simulation speed can be written and saved and Simulation speed startup = Normal ???????

With dsPIC (MI5809) I try to set Simulation speed to Normal, but always return to number "0.25".

Isn't there anyone who can answer here?
