There is currently not a way to insert a delay step in the Assistant - however you can open the diagram of the Express VI and manually add a delay to the generated code. You will lose the ability to bring the Assistant up from that particular Express VI if you view the code, but hopefully this is a possible workaround.
Can you give me the background of why you would like this feature? What is the use case? Our features are primarily driven by customer need - if we get requests for such a feature it could possibly be added in a future version.
the reason is simple. I would like to not have to open the front panel and expose the code until my assistant is complete. If i put two conecutive write or query and parse statements (using com port) I get overflow. i need to put some delay between the actions. This addition would be great.thanks
