Text Language Definition
Procedure Delay(NumberOfSeconds:longint);
Description
The Delay block causes a block list to stop and wait until the specified duration has been accomplished. The delay of one list of blocks has no bearing on the execution of other block lists or controller activities. The number indicating the duration of the delay is interpreted in the indicated units of seconds. In many cases it is necessary to pay attention to some conditions while waiting. In that case a much shorter delay can be placed inside a loop which is also allowing other conditions to be checked.
Escapes
The Delay Seconds block does not produce any escapes.
