Button, Count, Pulse in, Pulse out questions

Hi Group,
I've been reading through the programming manual, but I'm not
clear on something concerning the Button, Count, Pulse in, and Pulse
out commands on the BS2SX in particular. While the timing portions of
the commands are in progress, is the program halted, or can it
continue and leave the mentioned commands to do their thing?
Thanks,
Robert Hiebert

    No. The stamp is not a multitasking device. If it is carrying out a pulsin
    command (for example), thats all it does, when the pulsin time period has
    expired, it will then move to the next instruction. Treat the stamp as
    though each command is executed completely before the next command begins.
    Regards, Chris
