Timing a loop

I have a loop that needs to run about 10 seconds. It doesnt need to be exact. I need code to funtion during that time. The code is running at rcslow.
Is this correct?

Repeat
    count:=cnt
       HitCount:=HitCount+1
       
   repeat  while  ina[15]
    outa[18]:=1
    outa[18]:=0
   
   if cnt>count+200000
    quit

Something like this?

wait := cnt
  REPEAT UNTIL ((cnt - wait) => 200000)
    '' Do stuff here

I think you want to use UNTIL ahead of the check:

wait := cnt
  REPEAT UNTIL ((cnt - wait) => 200000)
    '' Do stuff here

oops, good catch.
