[Pesticida]

Hi,

Delay1 var word
DataIn var byte [12]

...........

Delay1 = Datain[3]

................
pause Delay1

Pause just work wenn Delay1 > 255 Why.

I want for Example to have a Delay sometimes 1 or 10 or 50 Milliseconds and sometime over a Second.
Its just work when Delay1 > as Byte.

How can I transform this Datain to Word.

Delay1.byte0 = Datain[3]
Delay1.byte1 = Datain[4]

Pause delay1

But this dont' Work.

I need Please a Help.
