Why do think the minimum delay is only 1 second? The time delay input is a DBL. If you want a delay of 10 milliseconds, you would enter a value of .01. A value of 100 milliseconds is entered as .1.

 

Don't count on much more than a 5 millisecond (.005) resolution, though.  Windows is not that deterministic.

Another thing to add:

Since you are new to LV and speak of "steps", i give a recommendation to you:

 

Do not use Sequence Structures (nor variables)!
