Answer 1

The pause command will allow you to wait for any number of seconds. For example pause(15) will wait for 15 seconds.

You may use it in an infinite loop like

while true
   %# Fetch bluetooth data
   pause(15)
end

Answer 2

You could create a TIMER OBJECT, that you set to execute a function that collects and processes data every 10 to 15 seconds.
