magnet control program - don't "lock out" when changing field #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

When changing to a different magnetic field, the magnet control program
stops updating the temperature and the needle valve setting. It shouldn't
stop that.

There's a comment in the program (below where this defect occurs) that says 
"field
buttons - cannot do these at the same time!" It seems like Lee, or someone, did 
this
on purpose so that the magnet doesn't crash while going to field. It's easy to 
fix,
but where's that blasted resistor?!?

Magnet power supply now has a resistor for the switch heater, so program away!

I fixed the problem (as near as I can tell). However, it seems the "lock-out" 
was
programmed on purpose. I didn't find any problems when I ran the program after 
fixing
the lock-out, though. In the top left while loop, I just took out a case 
structure
that wouldn't run the stacked sequence structure when the variable "working" 
was true.
