Another Servo Question

Archiver

When does the next basic command execute after you issue a PULSOUT command?

For example, if I execute "PULSOUT 1, 750" does the next basic command
execute (1) more or less immediately, (2) after approximately the pulse
width (1.5ms in this example) or (3) none of the above.

I think that the docs are telling me that the answer is choice #2, that
executions continues after completion of the pulse period, but it is not
entirely clear.

Thanks for you help!

#2 more or less. There is some overhead in addition to the 1.5mS, but
you can pretty much figure that if an instruction takes 1.5mS to do its
work, the next instruction will be at least 1.5mS later (and really a
bit more than that).
