Pause Command

[crazynight]

Newby question alert!!

I have read the manual and found:
"During a pause the only way to react to inputs is via an interrupt"

Will this apply to multi tasking ie the pause command is activated in start0: will the monitoring of inputs in start1-7: stop

No, during the PAUSE in the start0: task, other tasks will be able to sample inputs and react to them.

See PICAXE manual 1 page Section 1 page 62 - the section entitled: Parallel Task Processing
at the bottom of page 63 and over to 64 it states:

The commands are processed in a circular manner, for example with two tasks the first command in task 0 is processed, then the first command in task 1 is
processed, then the second command in task 0 is processed and so on. Therefore he processing core ‘cycles’ between the different tasks. During task ‘dead’
processing time (e.g. during delays such as within a pause command) the core automatically realises that there is no current processing to be carried out within
that task and moves immediately onto the next task. Therefore the response of another task is not affected by a pause delay.
