If a Continuous Task is present, the SOTS is used by the controller. Even if periodic tasks also exist.
The bright yellow banner at the top of the tab is always displayed when a Continuous Task is configured in the
controller. This will alert you that the 100% CPU usage is expected when a Continuous Task is present and may
or may not be an issue. It does not necessarily mean that no additional programs or tasks can be added to the
system. Additional code can be added to the Continuous Task even if the CPU is 100% utilized. The elapsed
task scan time will increase from the additional code.
