delay()

This function delays the execution of the commands that follow it.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
delay(seconds)
seconds
Details
It is impossible to delay for zero seconds.
The system delays execution of the commands for at least the specified number of seconds and fractional
seconds. However, the processing time may cause the system 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)
Example 2
dataqueue.clear()
dataqueue.add(35)
timer.reset()
delay(0.5)
dt = timer.measure.t()
print("Delay time was " .. dt)
print(dataqueue.next())

Where saved Default value
Emit a double-beep at 2400 Hz. The sequence is
0.5 s on, 0.25 s off, 0.5 s on.
Clear the data queue, add 35 to it, then delay 0.5
seconds before reading it.
