Wait for Time to Elapse

 

The Wait for Time to Elapse function instructs the macro to wait a specified number of minutes and seconds before continuing. This command is similar to the Delay command, but with a couple of noticeable differences. First, it allows for a much longer wait period (up to about 7 days). And perhaps more important, this command puts Macro Express into a wait state where virtually no CPU cycles are used, thus allowing CPU intensive programs to continue uninhibited.

Wait for

Insert the number of hours, minutes, seconds to have the macro wait before continuing.

 

üNote: This command suspends Macro Express for the amount of time specified. During this time the macro cannot be terminated by pressing the Scroll Lock + Pause keys or by right clicking on the "Running Man" icon in the notification area.

 

Warning: By putting Macro Express into this wait condition, access to Macro Express functions is not available, including stopping the macro until the specified time has elapsed. Use this command with caution.
