5 second timer

[reen]

hi,
i dont´t know how to build a timer that delivers a boolean "true" every 5 seconds for running a case-structure.
can anyone give me an advise?

thx

Hi reen,
If you have LV7 or later, the easiest way is to use the express 'Elapsed Time vi'which will generate an boolean true when the time setpoint has been reached.
Hope this helps.

i just have lv6.1
are there other possiblities?

Do other things in the same loop need to run more frequent? If not, you could just use an event structure with a 5 second timeout and place your code inside the timeout event.

If your loop times are arbitrary, but the case should only trigger every 5000ms, do something like in the attached example (LV6.1).

Hello

This is created using LV7.0 and down-converted to LV6.1
Not sure if it still works fine in LV6.1 and it may not be exact (ms) but close enough 😛
