¶ Specifics
Since the function completely delays the execution of Complex Events program, you cannot see the current remaining delay time when running the program and when debugging. But if you pause the debugger at the moment the delay is executed, it will highlight the required DELAY block on the diagram.
¶ Examples
¶ Example 1
This scheme will stop the operation of Complex Events for 1000 milliseconds every time this DELAY function is executed.
¶ Example 2
This scheme will only allow delaying Complex Events program by 1000 milliseconds if condition is True.
