CCSTUDIO: How is pause/suspend button implemented in CCS?

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

I am researching on MSP430 devices and I am trying to suspend the processor without using the suspend button provided in CCS. I know I could use a breakpoint to do the same, but breakpoints generally halt execution based on meeting some condition. I am curious as to how the pause/suspend button is implemented in CCS. Are any particular registers set or some interrupt/signal triggered to do so? If so can I trigger that signal in software/hardware as a programmer of the device?
