Is There a Cleaner Way

Below is a snipet of the code I want a beep at every 100th of the
countdown. I can do it the way I have it but it seems like there
would be a easier way.I thought of using a table also but that also
seems like that would involve to much space anybody have a hint.

Thanks , Stan



FOR reps = 1500 TO 1
AUXIO
dwn = reps/100
IF reps = 1400 THEN pulsout 15,60000
IF reps = 1300 THEN pulsout 15,60000
LCDOUT (LCDpin // 16), Line0, [noparse][[/noparse]" Counting Down...."]
LCDOUT (LCDpin // 16), Line1, [noparse][[/noparse]" Time Left"," " ,DEC3 dwn]
MAINIO

    Do you mean that you are putting lines of code in for each 100?

    Resp=1400
    Reps=1300
    Reps=1200
    ...
    Reps=100

    If so, then yes. Try this:

    If reps//100 = 0 then pulsout 15,60000

    You might want to stop it from ticking at 1500 so:

    If reps<>1500 and reps//100=0 then ...

    However, keep in mind that while that pulsout occurs you will get a 60000
    unit pause in your program! So the count down won't be very smooth.
