While Loop Require in OperatorControl?

[Chris_Elston]

I've seen now two videos of a couple of engineers from Intellitek that are teaching a seminar on EasyC and both of them show creating a WHILE (1) LOOP in the operatorcontrol function and putting your code inside the loop.

Is this required? I've got my code to excute just fine without putting a while (1) loop inside the OperatorControl function. Doesn't it loop anyway?

I know the autonmous mode does not excute in a loop, once it completes to the end it's done, unless you put a while loop in there.

One thing that would be handy to see is a generic FLOW CHART on your "Competion Template". Like the one we get when we download default code from innovation first.

I am wondering if this loop is required and part of my problem of timing my standard CPU "Scan time". In another post.
