PSI BOX PLUS+ Reference
Control Functions
TIMER.
Wait For X Milli Seconds.
________
_______________________
Purpose.
The PSI BOX waits for the given number of milli
__________
seconds to pass.
The TIMER command is used to allow the PSI BOX to
wait a fixed interval between bus accesses. Typically it is used
in a repeating MACRO so that a series of readings are taken
once every given interval.
The interval range is from 1 to 65535 milli seconds, ie
from 1/1000th of a second to 65.535 seconds.
It must be noted that due to the overhead of decoding the
command etc, timings less than 100 milli seconds may appear
inaccurate. Use as long a time as possible for higher percentage
accuracy.
The TIMER command is identical to the WAIT command.
