25 Nov 2003 (Updated 26 Nov 2003)

Waits for the specified number of seconds.

File Information
Description	Simple code that waits for the specified number of seconds. To use it, call "myWait(DeltaT)" with DeltaT in [s]. It does so using MATLAB timers, in this way it doesn't take computer resources (CPU), allowing other programs to run simultaneously.

04 Feb 2004	Juan Carlos Fuentes Michel	It works, but only on the R13. Is there someone who's got something for the R12 version?
01 Sep 2004	Jakob Buron	It works, but the builtin 'pause(n)' function does the same.
01 Sep 2004	Aman Siddiqi	Works well. Thanks
29 Dec 2005	John D'Errico	How is this any improvement over pause(T)? Even better, pause works in any version of matlab, new or old.
05 Sep 2006	Nathan McDannold	Works great! It's nice to see a pause function that doesn't use 100% of my CPU!
18 Dec 2006	Ming Liu	It stops all the m files.
25 May 2007	Peter Mao	I find it useful mainly because I can never remember the name of the function "PAUSE" and I'm always trying "wait," "delay," and "sleep." actually, I've found that I come back here whenever I forget about "pause."
12 Nov 2007	Kiran Bhagat	very useful..thanks a lot!
13 Dec 2007	Mukund Kumar	Nice one. Though it generates this unobtrusive error: ??? Error while evaluating TimerFcn for timer 'timer-5647' Undefined command/function 'myWait'.
18 Apr 2008	abhi k	this was very much required. a very very thank you.
27 May 2008	Balázs Vágány	:-) You helped me a lot! THX!
19 Jun 2008	Sergey B	why not to use simple pause(t) ?
