number response should cau
se the “When” condition to evaluate to “true”.

Clock Icon Button
–
This button opens the “When” Time Settings window
(see Figure 51). If no
settings are entered in this window, default “Timeout” and “Polling Interval” values
will be used based
on the “Input Type” selected.
“Timeout” –
This entry field specifies the time in milliseconds that the “When” operation will wait to
evaluate as “true” before timing out and evaluating as “false” and performing the “Else” operation.
A value of 0 will cause the “When” operation to wait indefinitel
y.
“Polling Interval” –
This entry field specifies how often in milliseconds
the “When” operation will
evaluate the operation to see if it has a “true” result. This value should be less than or equal to the
“Timeout” value.
For example, if the “When” oper
ation is checking whether a digital input has been
switched on and the “Polling Interval” value is “20”, the digital input will be checked once every 20
milliseconds to determine whether the input has been switched on and the operation should
evaluate to “true”.
