What's up with PtcCrt's delay procedure?

[TBMan]

It just acts wonky at times. I've resorted to using a longint as a timer for certain things.

tbh I never use delay so can't say I am familiar with the issue. I use sleep and timers when working with PTC.

Could you share a reproducible example ?

The description you gave is not very helpful.
I am missing a compilable example, platform, bitness.
ptc has many lowlevel implementations and these differ per platform, e.g. on Win and Lin the behavior is different in some cases.

[Thaddy]

Also note that on most platforms delays should not be used as precision timers: they just guarantee a minimum delay() but otherwise have no priority.
You need OS timers for that.

It just seems to be inconsistent in its use. Maybe it's my system. Sometimes

1. Delay(10)

takes forever and it shouldn't. It's probably my usage of it (in loops at times). Thanks for the responses.
