2.10.5 Set multiple break events in combination (Combination break) [E1] [E20]

By setting more than one break event (execution-related and/or access-related) in combination, you can stop the program when the combination condition is satisfied by the set break event.

Only one combination break can be set. Therefore, when two or more break events have been set, break event will be added consecutively to the detailed information of one combination break in the Events panel. Combination conditions listed below can be specified for the combination break.

Table 2.6

Combination conditions for the combination break

Combination conditions	Description
OR	Break will occur when any one of the break event conditions is satisfied.
AND	Break will occur when all the break event conditions are satisfied irrespective of the time line.
Sequential	Break will occur when the break event conditions are satisfied in the specified sequence. Only one break event in the combination breaks can be registered as a reset event (R event). When the registered break event is encountered, all the other break event conditions which have been holding until then will be cleared.

When editing a combination break, select the combination break in the Events panel and click [Edit Condition...] in the context menu. This will open a dialog box in which you can edit the combination break. For details on editing in the dialog box, see "2.17.4.3 Editing combination conditions of events [E1] [E20]".
