During programming the robot, you might encounter a runtime error like this: 

or

This can happen in the RobotProgram or in any Thread. 
The reason of this error, is that the program loops, but the lines in the program does not take any physical time. 

As an example, this program would cause an "infinite loop" error.

This error happens dut to the fact, that all 3 assignment operations does not use physical time. And since the program is looping, the program is running infinitely fast in infinite circles. 

The method of solving this, is to insert a command that uses physical time. 
These commands use physical time: 

• Wait (wait for a given time, e.g. 0.01 s)
• sync() script command
• Robot movements (e.g. a move command to a position whete the robot isn't already)

Thus, inserting a "Wait: 0.01" command into the program resolves the runtime error. 

Other more complex programs might as well cause this error. 
In below program, if both "something_A" and "something_B" is False, then the robot program will loop infinitely, because no commands are executed. 

The runtime error can be solved by inserting e.g. a "sync()" script command at the end of the program. 
Then, if both IF-statements are false, the robot will spend physical time at the "sync()" command. 
Thus:
