Timing Statements

Timing Statements

Timing statements enable you to pause the execution of a thread or obtain information about the system tick counter in your NBC programs. When using the standard NXT firmware NBC implements the wait and waitv statements as thread-specific subroutine calls due to them not being implemented. The enhanced NBC/NXC firmware implements these statements natively. If needed, you can implement simple wait loops using gettick.

 add endTick, currTick, waitms
 Loop:
   gettick currTick
 brcmp LT, Loop, currTick, endTick

• wait
• waitv
• wait2
• gettick
