Execution
The current program relinquishes control to the PcVue software and requests execution after the given delay.
The use of the instruction DELAY is forbidden in functions that may run concurrently, in particular in:
-
Functions called by CYCLIC, EVENT, CRONTAB, KEY or SELECTOR
-
Send Program animations,
-
Actions associated to alarms.
A DELAY is global to a program and suspends the execution of all its functions.
If the DELAY instruction is used in the GLOBAL program, it is the program that called GLOBAL which is suspended.
Example
SUB MainDelay()
DIM dblFrequency as double; 'in Hz
DIM dblPeriod as double;' in ms
DIM intSeconds as integer; ' seconds
dblFrequency = 1000;
dblPeriod = 100;
intSeconds = 4;
BEEP (dblFrequency,dblPeriod);
DELAY (intSeconds);
BEEP (dblFrequency,dblPeriod);
END SUB
