Break
Purpose
Interrupts Pathfinder without erasing present settings.
Format
<BREAK>
Description
A BREAK signal interrupts Pathfinder processing. It is leading-edge triggered and should
last at least 300 ms. Pathfinder may respond to shorter breaks so care should be taken to
avoid spurious signals on the communication lines. A BREAK initializes the system, sends
a wake-up (copyright) message, and places the Pathfinder in the DATA I/O mode. The
BREAK command does not erase any settings or data. Using TRDI Toolz, pressing the
icon in the lower left corner of the screen sends a BREAK.
Example

Software Breaks can be used with TRDI Toolz. From the Break button drop down menu,
select Hard Break or Soft Break (= = =) as needed for the DVL to wake up. If Soft
Break is selected, the Pathfinder will use the "= = =" string instead of a break.
