How to show active frame in flat sequence?

Famous last words 😁.

After the next (unexpected) 5-20 changes, you'd wish you refactored to something that works for you, the programmer.

Of course YMMV, but that is statistically and historically how it turns out.

Hi GerdW,  Altenbach and Yamaeda,

The pause button doesnt always highlight the whole frame unfortunately, and in this case I prefer to look at the front panel, I used variables to turn on and off some LEDs as seen in multiple youtube but  its not elegant or very scalable I admit. This allows me to monitor the progress and interaction of the sequence along with a second similar one running on another machine. If I had time I would try to build a state machine but its working now and as it is meant to run again and again for months I am not sure a state machine is any better, thanks you helped me through. Incidentally, Altenbach the program includes a modified version of your NTP parse which allows me to access all send and receive timestamps. Thanks again.

when I do use a sequence structure, I place a string control in the first frame and update this control from frame to frame via a constant + write_local-variable to update the string control.
