wait

Wait for timer objects to stop.

📝Syntax

wait(t)

📥Input Arguments

Parameter	Description
t	Timer object or timer object array.

📄Description

wait blocks until each timer in t stops. While it is waiting, Nelson continues processing timer callbacks so scheduled callbacks can complete.

Use wait in scripts and tests when later commands depend on timer callbacks having completed.

💡Examples

Wait until a repeated timer finishes all requested tasks.

t = timer('ExecutionMode', 'fixedSpacing', ...
  'Period', 0.05, ...
  'TasksToExecute', 3, ...
  'TimerFcn', @(src, event) disp('tick'));
start(t);
wait(t);
get(t, 'Running')
get(t, 'TasksExecuted')
delete(t);
