This command provides a pause in program execution for
the period in milliseconds.Period is a 16 bit number
that can hold a maximum value of 65,535.
In milliseconds,that works out to just over one minute.
(60,000ms).Unlike the other delay functions ,Nap and Sleep,
the pause command doesn't put the microcontroller into a
low power mode.This has both an advantage and a disadvantage.
The disadvantage is that pause consumes more power :
The advantage is that the clock is more accurate
pause 250 'Delay for .25 seconds
Applications:
The pause finds application in some situations where some
signals at the output or input pins may remain unchanged.
For example A typical gearbox motor will respond only after
30ms,after the appliction of valtage to it.
