Delay/Wait a case and then breakout out of it when needed

[kaivan29]

I need a block/case to wait for 1800 seconds (30 mins) and then run during the runtime. I am in the debugging phase where I am testing out the application with different parameters, in which case I need to stop the application in between. But due to the delay or wait, the application freezes or does not let me exit. How can i find a way to break out of the wait/delay?

I often use single Event cases to handle situations like this:

If nothing happens, the timeout case triggers and you move on normally.  In this example you stop early using the Stop button, but it could be any event that you send to the event case that stops it (a user-generated event, for instance).

Most times putting an event case in a While loop is near-automatic, but you can leave it off in cases like this.
