Hallo to all!!!
This is my first thrad here.
I need a little help.

I like have a few delay in every loop in a cycle for.
I must command a external device with a signal sequence.

My problem is: between each signal i must have a delay.

I don't know how to menage the Time statement.

Thanx
 

I am not familiar with CAPL, but I've heard of devices having a timekeeping variable.

You call it like you would call a function, and it returns a certain number of seconds, or micro-seconds, etc., since it was powered up.

Example: myTimerVariable = FnTickcount

To create a delay of 100 time units:
targetTime = FnTickcount + 100
WHILE FnTickcount < targetTime
WEND
 

Hi lucnicol,

even I too tried to generate delay in general program, i haven't succeeded but i came to know that in TEST Setup's we can give delay,
Try with this function
long TestWaitForTimeout(dword aTimeout)
