Totalizing brook flow meter

hello, I am using fieldpoint AI 110 in labview 7.1 to read my brooks flow meter input. I have a vi which reads the flow in grams per minute. I want to totalize the flow to reach a certain stopping or set  point. Is there a VI available?

Hi Stan,
 
This can be done by basically keeping track of the time your read-loop takes (using tickcounts and shift-registers).  Make sure you convert this time to minutes, and then multiply by the value read from the AI point.  You now have the grams collected in one loop.  Then, use a shift register to keep adding these grams from each loop to get the total so far.  
 
Hope this gives you some ideas.
