Thanks Jordi - that explains everything. Is it possible to vary the delay between consecutive sampler requests? E.g.: ---Delay 20 ms ---HTTP Sampler 1 ---Delay 2000000 ms ---HTTP Sampler 2 ---Delay 20 ms ---HTTP Sampler 3 I read the documentation, and couldn't figure out a way for a timer to "override" a previous timer in the same controller.
