6. In the Timeout parameter, set the time to wait for the event to occur in HH:MM:SS format.
7. Click the Add event filter button and add the event filter if necessary. You can specify one or more events, upon receiving which the waiting stops. If you don't select events, the waiting stops only after the specified time

This is the IF condition for running a command (only after the specified events occur).

You can enter the following parameters in the Awaiting command:

1. The time-out format is HH:MM:SS (1).

to perform when an event from Break Command occurs. A new Awaiting instance is also an option (3).
4. If necessary, select and configure the action to perform if none of the events that were set in Break Command occurred during time-out. A new Awaiting instance is also an option (4).
