Hi, In my programs I want to wait for a function to complete before continuing on with the rest of the program. Most of this waiting has to do with data access. So when I make a query I want the program to wait for the results of the query. Once I know the results I move to the next part of the program.
But nothing interupts the program flow. make a data query. if good data then -> this fires immediately does not wait until the query completes Adding a timer does not interrupt the flow. Timers only work when the program become idle or is out of the current function (not completely sure that is correct). make a data query. timer1.enabled = true if good data then -> this fires immediately does not wait until for the timer to complete Timer will now fire....... make a data query. timer1.mode = 2 timer1 action 'just wait until the data is good if good data then dosomething else dosomething_Else_to_correct_the_issue end if timer1.enabled = false I think the last one is the correct way???? But it only sort of works. So the question is how do I wait some action/query/function to complete before going on to the next part of the program. BTW with the last example a second timer will be required because the "dosomething_Else_to_correct_the_issue" will also have to wait until it is finished - right?
