Oh shoot, I just caught this. What is this about? Seems like it would never exit this state, as you clear TIX then wait for it to go past 4ms. If you want a delay after the sample is finished, you'd need to another state or something to allow for clearing TIX then waiting for it to count up to 4ms again:

[code]
    IF General_Var(1) = 5 THEN             ' measuring
    IF USD_Pin = 0 THEN             ' Signal is high as long as no feedback. Once USD receives something, then signal goes low. 
                        ' wait for pulse to end. only if pulse has ended, procedures goes ahead, otherwise abortion here
             led2 = ison
         LOW USD_Pin             ' pulse ended: turn pin off to keep trigger low
             Distance = rawdata         ' move count to stable variable
[b]             Tix = 0                ' clear the timer 
                        ' from now on I have 5ms until the next reading of the USD (set at 1*)
              IF Tix >= 4000 THEN
        General_Var(1) = 2                 ' end this step, skip the index finding step and system check
         ENDIF
[/b] ' the above couldn't possibly exit this state????         
    ENDIF
   
     ENDIF
[/code]
