Action

Suspends program execution for a given time in mS.

 

 

Syntax

WAITMS mS

 

 

Remarks

 

The delay time is based on the used X-tal (frequency).

So it is important that you provide the right $CRYSTAL value.

 

The use of interrupts can slow down this routine.

For a real precise delay you should use a timer.

The WAITMS statement can only delay for 255 mS. That is why the WAITMSE statement was added, it can give  a longer delay.
