How to Add a Delay or Fixed Wait Period Between Steps

Use the Delay step to wait for a fixed time before executing the next step in an inspection, or for a fixed amount of time since the last time this step was called.

  1. In the Step Name control, enter a descriptive name for the step.
  2. Select whether to Delay or wait for a Fixed Time Lapse period since the last time this step was called.
    • If Delay is selected, use the Delay (ms) control to specify the number of milliseconds you want Vision Builder AI to wait before executing the next step.
    • If Fixed Time Lapse is selected, use the Period (HH:MM:SS) control to specify the amount of time the step should wait from the last time the step was called before continuing.
    Note  If you select Fixed Time Lapse, the first time the step runs, the step will not wait. The fixed time lapse will occur after the first time the step runs.
