Pausing a process pauses everything to do with that process, so no, you can't keep the timer running when pausing the process.kapavita wrote:Is it possible to keep a timer running when the process using this timer is paused?
Many times during the mash process, I have to stop the outputs for the pump and RIMS.
Pausing the process stops the outputs but it also stops the timers which then makes it
challenging to track consistent 60 or 90 min mash schedules. Thanks!
However, you may be able to use a simple work around for it. You can setup one of the states to not have those outputs turned on, but yet have the timers continue. You then activate that state when you need your (psuedo) pause, then jump back to the original state you were on.
I do that for my mash. I do a continuous recirculation on the mash, but every once in a while the pump will lose prime. Instead of pausing the process, I have a state called "Pump Off Prime" that I activate and it pauses the pump while running the timers and after 5 seconds, it automatically jumps back to the "Mash Hold" state.
If you're only pausing for a minute at a time, that time difference really isn't going to change anything in your mash.
