Timed FOR Loop

[dthor]

Simple Idea:

There should be a timed FOR loop.

All the same awesomeness of the Timed (While) Loop, but stops when the auto-indexed array finishs or after N executions.

I was wondering the necessity of that. After a while I agree with you. It's easy to implement an exit in a While Loop that is based on the "i" counter. But your idea make it simpler. I imagine a scenario where some channels should be scanned waiting a while between then. This structure would help the code be simpler. Kudos!

Yeah, the Idea isn't anything ground-breaking. It's purely a matter of convenience.

Heck, convenience is the reason we have the standard FOR loop anyway. You can accomplish the same thing with a WHILE loop and clever stop conditions! 

The only issue I have with my prototype image is that the N terminal ends up getting blocked. Perhaps it could move to the resizable inputs on the right.
