Typical Example

CX-Supervisor waits 1 second.
Note 1: The sleep statement should be used with caution, as some other parts of the system
may not be updated while a script is sleeping. It also uses multithreading which means
some tasks like PLC communication may occur in parallel and behave unpredictably.
Note 2: In a well designed, truly event driven system use of the Sleep() statement should never
be required. Always consider if the statements after the Sleep should be in their own
script, executed when a Condition occurs.
