Start and stop the interface interactively

For interactive parameter configuration, running the interface service you can use PI ICU to run the interface interactively.

Note: Interfaces running as services must be stopped before you can run them interactively.

1. Open PI ICU and select the interface instance.

2. Click Interface > Start Interactively.

   A command prompt window opens and interface operation begins automatically.

3. Optional: Press Ctrl+C to initiate orderly shutdown. You can also close the command prompt window to stop running the interface interactively.

   Note: Press Ctrl+C more than once during orderly shutdown to stop the interface immediately and end any interface-specific cleanup processes.

   The interface stops.
