+An alternative to using the sleep function is to use a timer, like this:
+<code javascript>
+   main()
+   {
+      SetOutput(1, 100);      // Turn output on
+      SetTimer(1, 200);       // Set up timer 1 to trip in 200ms
+   }
+   @Timer( timerno, timeout, param )
+   {
+      SetOutput(1, 0);        // Turn output off
+   }
+</code>
+One benefit of using a timer is that you code continues to execute while the timer is running.
