<p class="PlainText">Syntax: <span class="keyword_in_text">PAUSE</span> <![CDATA[ ]]><i>Duration</i></p>
<h2>Function</h2>
<p class="PlainText">Pause the program (do nothing) for the specified <i>Duration</i>.
</p>
<ul>
<li value="1"><b><i>Duration</i></b> is a variable/constant/expression* (0 - 65535) that
specifies the duration of the pause. The unit of time for <i>Duration</i> is
one millisecond. </li>
</ul>
<p class="PlainText">*<img src="../../graphics/bs1note.gif" style="vertical-align: super;" /> Note: expressions are not allowed as arguments on the BS1.</p>
<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">PAUSE</span> delays the execution of the next program instruction for the specified
number of milliseconds. For example: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
Flash:
&#160; LOW 0
&#160;PAUSE 100
&#160; HIGH 0
&#160;PAUSE 100
&#160;GOTO Flash
</pre>
<p class="PlainText">This code causes pin 0 to go low for 100 ms, then high for 100 ms. The delays
produced by <span class="keyword_in_text">PAUSE</span> are as accurate as the ceramic-resonator time base (on
the BASIC Stamp modules), ±1 percent. When you use <span class="keyword_in_text">PAUSE</span> in timing-critical
applications, keep in mind the relatively low speed of the PBASIC interpreter.
This is the time required for the BASIC Stamp to read and interpret an instruction
stored in the EEPROM. </p>
