DELAY not working properly

[horseracingarchery]

Hey

My DELAYs seem to not be working properly.

If i, for example have DELAY 1000 in my code, execution stops for 2000 milliseconds instead of 1000.

Can someone tell me what the problem is / how i can fix it?

Haven't experienced that before. Also difficult to say without knowing what the rest of the payload does.

If you have a verified timing and the delay isn't exactly 1 second per "DELAY 1000" then I'd suggest creating a support ticket and report the fact.

DELAYs have never been an exact science (the original & the new duck). The reason why is because the ducky does not use a clock to calculate these things; it is simply waiting a number of cycles which are controlled by the host computer. 
In MOST cases DELAY 1000 is very close to 1 second - but as I mentioned above - this is a process driven by the host and thus can very accordingly per target machine. For the same reasons, different ATTACKMODES may also vary timing depending on the host as well.

The procedure to fix is simply adjust the delays accordingly to achieve the desired performance on the machine you're testing on.

Hope this clears things up.
