Function

Usage

delay(seconds)

seconds

The number of seconds to delay (0 to 100,000 s)

Details

The instrument delays execution of the commands for at least the specified number of seconds and fractional

seconds. However, the processing time may cause the instrument to delay 5 μs to 10 μs (typical) more than the

requested delay.

Example 1

beeper.beep(0.5, 2400)

delay(0.250)

beeper.beep(0.5, 2400)

Emit a double-beep at 2400 Hz. The sequence is

0.5 s on, 0.25 s off, 0.5 s on.

Example 2

dataqueue.clear()

dataqueue.add(35)

timer.cleartime()

delay(0.5)

dt = timer.gettime()

print("Delay time was " .. dt)

print(dataqueue.next())

Clear the data queue, add 35 to it, and then delay

0.5 seconds before reading it.

Output:

Delay time was 0.500099

3.500000000e+01
