Delay icon properties






Delay icons are used to slow down program execution and for program timing.

They are particularly useful in slowing program execution speed down to allow for human interaction.


Display Name

The name of the icon that appears on the flowchart.


Delay value or variable

This is the length of the delay that you wish to create.


Variables button

This button brings up the variables dialog window allowing you to select an existing variable or to create a new one.


Microseconds/Milliseconds/Seconds options

Delays can be specified in units of microseconds, milliseconds or seconds. When simulating delays in seconds, a dialog box will appear showing how much of the delay has elapsed. A cancel button on the dialog allows the execution of the flowchart to continue before the entire delay has passed.

To allow Flowcode to correctly program your Chip with the correct delay setting you will need to select a clock speed for your Chip. The dialog box for this can be seen by selecting Edit....Project Options.
