# Setting Timeout

TYPE | DIRECTIVE | OPTIONAL | ARGUMENTS
Operation | timeout | Yes | <N_seconds>

The timeout directive is used to set the time-out value for the next ISP operation. All subsequent ISP operations will be timed out with the regular timeout value. N_seconds must be greater or equal to 1 and smaller or equal to 3600.

Example of use :

> batchisp -device t89c51cc01 -hardware PEAK -operation canopen 0xFF timeout 30 erase F

blankcheck canclose 0xFF

In the above example, the 30 seconds timeout applies to the erase operation only. The blankcheck operation is timed out by a standard value of 5 seconds.

Warning : This directive is for Atmel's internal experiments purpose; you should not have to use it.
