Easiest way to have Picaxe wait 3-5 minutes before taking another sample?

Using an 8M

I will be using it like a intervalometer and only need to read the temperature every 3-5 minutes. Is there a simple way other that a pause in a loop?

Rather than a loop, three consecutive "PAUSE 65535" will give you around a 3 minute and 20 second delay.

A loop is pretty simple as it is. You can put that on one line if it helps make it feel more simple -

For b0 = 1 To 3 : Pause 60000 : Next
