job.file.pauseDuration does it get used anywhere ?

[peter247]

Have a go at switching off the heaters if it is in pause for too long with this code .

var time_now = state.upTime + 10
while var.time_now - state.upTime > 0
	G4 P500 ; 500ms delay
	if state.status != "paused"
		break
if state.status != "paused"
	echo "back to printing"
else	
	echo "Switch heater off"

Which looks to be working , but I've found this value in the object model "job.file.pauseDuration" which show how long the job is paused .
Does this get used to do something ?

@peter247 job.pauseDuration is only tracked so that when computing the print time so far, any pause time can be subtracted from the elapsed time.

@dc42 Thank you , So it is a total of all the pause delays ? . No use for what I want to use it for then .

@peter247 Yes, that is correct.
