Setting Delay Options for Commands and Keystrokes
By default, Robot pauses 100 milliseconds between each user action command and
between each verification point command during playback. If you find that Robot
consistently gets ahead of your application-under-test during playback, you can
increase the time that Robot waits between these commands.
Also, if you find that your application-under-test does not see all of the keystrokes
that Robot sends it, you can have Robot wait between sending keystrokes to the
application.
To set the delay options for commands and keystrokes:
1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box. (See Setting GUI Playback Options
on page 9-3.)
2. Click the Playback tab.
3. Click Delay between commands. Type the delay value.
This is the delay between each user action command and between each
verification point command during playback.
4. Click Delay between keystrokes. Type the delay value.
5. Click OK or change other options.
Setting Error Recovery Options
Use the error recovery options to specify how Robot handles script command
failures and verification point failures.
To set the error recovery options:
1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box. (See Setting GUI Playback Options
on page 9-3.)
NOTE: This synchronization is used only in Object-Oriented Recording. In
contrast, low-level scripts are processed in real time. They play back at the same
speed at which they were recorded and do not use automatic wait settings.
