rt_waitmultiple (MathScript RT Module Function)
Owning Class: rt
Requires: Real-Time Module and MathScript RT Module
Syntax
rt_waitmultiple(count)
rt_waitmultiple(count, unit)
t = rt_waitmultiple(count)
t = rt_waitmultiple(count, unit)
Description
Delays execution of the thread in which the current MathScript Node runs. You can use this function to establish the phase of a loop. The thread sleeps until the value of a free-running counter reaches a multiple of count, then this function returns the value of the counter and the thread continues execution. Both the t output and the internal counter are 32-bit unsigned integers.
