WAIT statements are simple conditional instructions. They evaluate a condition or series of conditions, and only continue on to the next line if true. This allows you to add a delay to the progression of a robot's program.
If it is not true, the instruction will continue checking if it is true until it becomes true.
| WAIT | Variable | Math | Variable | Modifier Choice | Modifier Variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAIT | R[1] | = | 6 | ||
| WAIT | DI[3] | = | ON | ||
| WAIT | 1.2 (Sec) | ||||
| WAIT | 2 (Sec) | TIMEOUT | LBL[1] |
The condition can be any valid variable compared against any other variable, as well as just a time constant.
The WAIT instruction modifier TIMEOUT lets the instruction break out to a given LBL after a certain amount of time has occurred. This can be useful for error checking or multitasking, where the robot sitting idle is an undesired event.
