Change timing in timing-VIs and timed loops before the current time is finished

[huerttlen]

It should be possible to change timing in timing-VIs ( wait until next ms) and timed loops before the current time is finished. Actually one has to wait for finishing the current timing, this is bad for long intervals like 1minute. Nice would be to have something like an property node to force the new timing.

You can do that using occurences with a timeout.

I often use the timeout event keeping the timeout value in a shift register and create a "timeout changed" event to modify it.

You can also interrupt a timed loop using Stop Timed Loop.

One can use a Notifier also.   I suspect one could make a new timing VI that accepted a Notifier containing the updated timeout.  Or a User Event; any LabVIEW feature that provides an "interuptable timeout".

Hi altenbach,

thank you for this "You can also interrupt a timed loop using Stop Timed Loop". This is the solution I am looking for, but I did not find it... Thank you.
