pause a program while running and resume from the same spot

Hi, I wrote a programme that consists of reading from a sensor who get heated after being on for over 20 min.

I wonder if there is a possibility while the program is running to pause it after 20 min for a 20 min pause, and then it will continued right where it stopped.

thank you

Yes, there is a command for it: pause.

thank you ,but my program consists loops and Im not looking for a command that will pause after a specific line, i need it to pause in a specific time

I don't have a full picture of how the sensor is operated . One thing you might be able to do is use the backgroundPool to issue on/off commands to the sensor, using pause or tic...toc to measure intervals of time between commands. Your main program would, however, have the responsibility of checking whether the data it is reading from the sensor is valid.
