PLIN-View Pro can start and stop its scheduler through VBScript, but it cannot stop the scheduler in response to LIN data. Therefore, a command carried in master frame 3C cannot perform this control within PLIN-View Pro. Use VBScript for control inside PLIN-View Pro or build an application with the PLIN-API when LIN-driven control is required.

Identify the control limitation

The LDF schedule table may load and run correctly while remaining independent of received LIN data for scheduler control. The available evidence identifies no PLIN-View Pro command, signal, or frame payload that maps master frame 3C to a scheduler stop action.

Control method Supported outcome Constraint
LIN data, including master frame 3C Cannot stop the PLIN-View Pro scheduler PLIN-View Pro does not expose scheduler stop control through LIN data
VBScript in PLIN-View Pro Start or stop the scheduler Implement the action through the documented scripting interface
Custom application using PLIN-API Implement application-controlled scheduling Requires application development outside the PLIN-View Pro scheduler workflow

Stop the scheduler with VBScript

For automated control within PLIN-View Pro, use its VBScript support. Open Help > VBScript Support and use the documented scheduler start and stop interfaces. The evidence does not provide method names or script syntax, so select the exact calls from the installed help instead of assuming identifiers.

Use PLIN-API for LIN-driven control

If scheduler control must depend on a received LIN frame or data condition, create an application using the PLIN-API. Implement the required data evaluation and schedule-control behavior in that application because PLIN-View Pro cannot bind incoming LIN data directly to its scheduler stop action.

Verify the selected method

  1. Start the schedule table and confirm that its scheduled LIN activity is running.
  2. Execute the VBScript stop action, or the equivalent control implemented in the PLIN-API application.
  3. Confirm that scheduled activity stops. Do not treat transmission of master frame 3C alone as proof of scheduler control, because PLIN-View Pro does not stop its scheduler from LIN data.

FAQ

Can master frame 3C stop a schedule table in PLIN-View Pro?

No. PLIN-View Pro cannot stop its scheduler through LIN data, so transmitting master frame 3C does not provide this control.

How do I stop the PLIN-View Pro scheduler automatically?

Run a VBScript that invokes the documented scheduler stop function. Find the supported interface under Help > VBScript Support.

How can a received LIN command control the schedule?

Develop an application with the PLIN-API, evaluate the received LIN data in that application, and perform the required schedule control there.
