how to include value change from "daqmx read.vi" as an event in event structure without trouble

Hi this question might be a bit specific, but I'm having trouble combining the two programs below. The "digital testing 2.vi" is programmed for a light sensor, which output true or false and trigger an digital led. The second program is used for recording the timestamp and the count for each time u use boolean switch. I'm trying to add the programming for the timestamp and the count to the sensor program, but with no success. I thinks the problem occur when I included value change from the "daqmx read.vi" as one of the event in the event structure.

Thanks a lot, any suggestion is appreciated.

I forget, the problem to the program after I integrate the second program, is that the digital led indicator for the first program stop working, even though I have input a "5 volt" wire into the port of the daq continuously.

The immediate problem I see is that you have two while loops with no "wait" timers in them. Add a fixed time delay to each main while loop, say 100 ms., and give it a try.

I don't think the event structure is going to work for you here.  I would just is a single loop to read the DI and process it as needed.
