Overview
This VI continually counts upwards, in either millisecond or second increments.


Description
The goal of this VI is to provide a continual reference timebase for an application. It is very similar to the Tick Count (ms) function, but it always starts at 0, and does not "wrap" back to 0 when the 32-bit limit is hit. The timer is fairly accurate, but still could suffer some determinism issues. The boolean LED is lit if the software skips a cycle, throwing the count off slightly.


Requirements

Software:

  1. LabVIEW 2012

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Choose the unit of time (milliseconds or seconds)
  2. Run the VI
