PE 6.0.8.8 Flowchart multi-task problem?

[Dartmoor]

It's probably me, but here goes:
Using 08M2 with AXE021 Proto Board.
Two loops 'Main' & 'Start1'.

When trying to simulate the flowchart, I get the following error message:
"Syntax error on line 80 at/before position 5 - Error: setfreq not allowed in multi task program".

I guess the setfreq is done automatically by choosing the Start1?

Thanks,
Dave

Please post the program.

[Technical]

setfreq command is not available in parallel task programs.

 

[Dartmoor]

Yes, the error message tells me that I cannot set feq.
Thing is I have not tried to set freq in the flowchart, it only appears in the basic conversion.
I can only assume that PE6 applies "set default freq" automatically?
Will post program tomorrow am.

I can edit the basic, but I cannot see a way to continue using the flowchart?

It sounds like you are using a flowchart cell which needs to set the frequency to achieve what it wants to do, but being a multi-tasking program is not able to do that.

When you post your flowchart program we will be able to see if that is the issue.

Hippy is right.
I have used "Ultra" in the flowchart which seems to temp set freq. (this is under "start1").
Not a problem now that I know why, as I can find another way.
Thanks for your help guys!
