Hi
I'm trying to make a program that would call a subprocedure after a certain time periods, for example every four seconds for two minutes. I planned that this could be done with taking a timestamp and waiting in a loop until the time period has elapsed. The timestamps should be created by using NI 6601 counter in Visual Basic .NET, but I don't have the slightest idea how this could be done. The timestamps are not supposed to represent absolute time but the time relative to each subprocedure call.
I'm new to programming these measurements in general so I would appreciate a small example code a lot.
Thanks in advance!
