My experiment is to display numbers from a csv file onto ui\_guage after a 5 sec delay.(code at end)

Input to csv file is a multi-line msg.payload with three values per line.i.e,

````auto
```name1, numerical1,numerical11
```name2 numerical2,numerical22, etc

````

problem: i get no delay of 5sec per message on the guage...it directly shows the final value present in the last colomn (i have used a delay node also but still...)

example: display column 3 numericals with 5 sec delay on guage.  
guage output: numerical22  
So, the required per message delay (5 sec) is absent.  
I require the delay.  
I'am working on IBM cloud lite plan, node red v1.0.6

please review the following code  
any help is welcome  
if similar is answered before please re-direct me the solution  
. 🕶

The code:

```auto

You have only posted the export from one node, you haven't posted the flow showing how you have attempted the delay.  
However, in case you didn't realise, if you want it to show multiple values 5 seconds apart you need to set the delay node to rate limit mode so they come out at the defined rate.

Thanks @Colin for pointing the error out!  
I have set the delay node to rate limit mode and now I get the desired output. Once again thanks @Colin for the timely response.  
The complete working code is given below 🕶

For the future, when posting flows if you select Compact mode (at the bottom of the Export dialog) then it appears as one line here so it is much easier to copy it all, just by triple clicking it.

Yes it is much smaller and neater in compact mode - but there is a button top right of the window that will do the copy all to clipboard for you in any format

Oh, you mean from the forum, I thought you meant when Exporting.  
At last I know what that blob that keeps getting in the way does, thanks. I don't see a tooltip when I hover over it, but perhaps there is not supposed to be one.
