Dasylab Basic Stop Start

Is there a way to automatically start (run) again a worksheet once a stop condition has been triggered?  I see online of method 3 but not sure if applies to Dasylab basic version.  

 

Method 3: Using a Combi Trigger
If the stop command is generated by a data threshold rather than a manual button press:
  1. Use a Combi Trigger module (under Trigger Functions) to define the specific data condition that acts as a "stop" signal.
  2. Connect the trigger output to an Action module or a Relay to trigger actions upon the cessation of data flow

Or run the sheet again after a certain time period (Looping) continuously.

Use the Time Control feature located on the Measurement menu.

Thank you that worked.  I'll use the other forum.  But one more question.  I use a counter to keep a count.  But it resets and start over again.  Anyway to resolve this from resetting?

The default setting for the Counter is Cumulative, meaning it continuously counts up. You can clear the count using an Action module.

Not an issue with clearing the count.  It the issue of trying to keep it from clearing while using the time control to cycle through the start stop.

Write the count to a variable. Use a second variable to hold the last count. Use an Action module to add the count variable to the last count variable when the measurement stops. The Action module can also increment a variable if you are counting how many times the worksheet runs. Review the attached DASYLab 2024 worksheet to see what I mean.
