Andrzej:

I use both Isodat 2.0 and 2.5 versions. I have sequence pre-scripts that do
nothing but start a timer. I use it to start runs overnight so that it is
just finishing my initial few priming samples when I get in in the morning.
Also good for timing a carbonate flushing sequence to start overnight and
finish just before arriving. It doesn't collect data, so there is no wasted
data file. And no separate methods are required. The sequence simply starts
after the set time.

It is a simple script with the _Delay() function in the body. The number of
milliseconds of delayed time is entered between the brackets. Milliseconds
are a pain to use, but at least it works.

Subject: How to do a delayed start of a measurement sequence?

Dear Listmembers,
using ISODAT 2.82, I would like to start a measurement sequence with a
time shift meaning, that it would start at a given time, or alternatively,
after a given period of time.
Could somebody advise me on how to do it?
Thanks,
Andrzej
