Define steps with timers

You can configure a step with a timer that only delays step execution. This timer is called a Simple Timer. You can use the Simple Timer to make Sequencer wait a certain time period before writing values to the On Exit outputs.

Tip: In the Timer Preset cell, you can enter the time delay in dd:hh:mm:ss (dd=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds).

Note: The time format in the Sequencer editor is dd:hh:mm:ss does not correspond to the ElapsedTime format of the equivalent attribute (such as seen in Object Viewer), which is "d hh:mm:ss".

To configure steps with a simple timer

1. Select the Step Program tab. The Step Program panel appears.

2. Locate the step for which you want to change the step condition or jump condition.

3. Select the Condition cell in the Step section or Jump section for that step and select Simple Timer .

4. Select the Timer Preset cell to the right of the condition cell.

5. Select the Browse button. The Simple Timer dialog box appears.

   

6. Configure the timer and select OK.
