jmevans,

The PAUSE command is FAKED!  This is a common practice.  It does not stop the processor from executing code like a SLEEP command would.  It simply keeps the processor busy running through counting loops until the desired time has expired.  Then it moves on to the rest of the code.

You might want to normally comment out all pauses when using SX-Sim.  You will not be running through your code in real time anyway so there a few reasons to include them.

The bottom line is that the PAUSE command should run just fine in hardware but it can drive you nutty to run through all those time wasting loops under SX-Sim.  This, of course, is no fault of SX-Sim as it is only running the instructions it was given.

I hope this helps.
