    Just starting out with a PAC controller here.... What I want to do is use the WAITUNTIL command to wait until something goes OFF...... There is no explanation of this in the help file though.... I can wait until something goes on no problems..... I have guessed at a few things, but all my guesses end up in a syntax error :(

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..... :confused:

    Hmm,

    This is what I use.

    WaitUntil(GetLightingState("Hall light flag on"));

    I just tried this and it compiles as well.

    WaitUntil(GetLightingState("Hall light flag on")=OFF);

    Thanks Marty, .... Like I said, I'm new to this.... I'm done plenty of programming, but every language is that little bit different... and the last time I even touched Pascal was back in college... and that was running on a Sperry 286 to give an idea on time ;)

    Is there a decent reference manual with good code examples and a FULL list of syntax commands?

    So far I have the help file a little sketchy....

    Cheers again....

    If you have PICED (Pick Ed) installed then have a look in the manuals folder.
    C:\CLIPSAL\PICED\Manuals
    The Logic and Programmers Guide docs are a good place to start. About 400 pages worth ;)
