Citect Timer ?????

Is there a timer function in Citect or CiCode ?

I would like to do the following:
Press a button have a timer start. When the timer is done I would like to set memory tag This tag will cause another button to appear.

I am using a OPC server that is comminicating to our custom product. No PLC so there are no timers available that way. The OPC part is working

lots of solutions for this problem:

you could store the time when you press button 1, then if current time > (stored time + x) show button 2

you could use the sleep or sleepMs function

...

thanks Marsupilami

the sleep was what I was looking for, something clean and easy. I figured there was funtion I just could not find what I needed in the CiCode manual.

Another solution

use systime and systimedelta

Be careful of sleep - it can adversely affect the performance of Citect if used often and for a longer time period. Even sleep for 2 seconds can slow things down.
