# Inserting Wait States

TYPE | DIRECTIVE | OPTIONAL | ARGUMENTS
Operation | wait | Yes | [ <Nsec> ]

The wait directive is used to insert a pause between two ISP operations, if necessary.

<Nsec> = optional pause duration in seconds.

If no value is specified after the wait directive, then batchisp waits for the user to hit the Return key.

Example of use :

> batchisp -device at89c51rd2 -operation erase F wait 2 blankcheck 0x00 0x3FF

The <Nsec> argument must be an integer.
