*SLn cause DataLoad to pause
Use *SL for more granular control of load speed

Cell Delays

These delays are specified in the spreadsheet using the *SLn command. Whenever DataLoad encounters such a command it pauses for the specified time at that point in the load. For instance:

*NR *SL1 TAB

causes DataLoad to execute the *NR command, pause for 1 second (*SL1), and then execute the TAB command.

The delay value can optionally be enclosed in brackets, E.g. *SL(1) or *SL1, and can be decimal or whole numbers, E.g. *SL(0.5).

These delays are most useful for situations not covered by the Preconfigured DataLoad delays. As such they will probably be used in one-off, particular situations. Try to avoid using them repeatedly in the data sheet otherwise it becomes very time consuming to change the delay when debugging or fine tuning.
