Click the Open Robot Window button on the GUI Record toolbar. This button
restores the Robot window, letting you use the Insert menu.
NOTE: If you are testing an application in which time estimates are not
predictable, you can define a wait state for a verification point instead of inserting
a delay value. With a wait state, playback waits based on specific conditions rather
than on absolute time. For more information, see Setting a Wait State for a
Verification Point on page 4-8.
Type the delay interval in
milliseconds. For example:
1 second = 1000
1 minute = 60,000
1 hour = 3,600,000
Click OK to continue
recording or editing.
