Cannot use \TimeOutSignal on WaitDI

in RAPID Programming
Looking at the documentation for IRC5 in RobotStudio, it lists \TimeOutSignal as an optional argument that should be available when using the WaitDI instruction with the \MaxTime argument. However, RobotStudio flags it as an invalid option when typing it into the RAPID editor and underlines it with red. The \TimeFlag argument works just fine, which sets a boolean instead of a DO, but I'm curious why the \TimeOutSignal does not work when it's listed as an option in the documentation. Is it just not available for IRC5?

    Hey Jday,
    this is running on RW 6.15.02 on a virtual controller. Did you write it the correct way?

    example code;
    WaitDI di_TEST_01,1\TimeOutSignal:=do_Test_01;

    greets.
