Adding a Time Delay
Unfortunately, when the toggle switch is on, the output LEDs flash too rapidly for
us to see. We need to put in a time delay of 500 milliseconds — just enough to
slow the flashing to an observable speed.
1. Insert a new Process block after the two Process blocks that you defined
earlier.
NOTE: If you place the block in the wrong place, there are two ways to fix
it. The first way is to simply delete the block and insert it again. (For more
information on deleting Flow Chart blocks, see page 143.)
The second way is to click on and drag the block to the correct position in
the flowchart. The chart will automatically redraw itself to incorporate
the block wherever you place it.
2. Open the new block’s Block Properties window.
3. Set the Command property to Wait.
A Wait Value sub-property will be added.
4. To the right of the Wait Value sub-property, click the
button. The Build
Argument window will appear.
