Hey all,
I'm doing a bit of work taking thermal conductivity measurements of a thermal hot wire in nanofluids. To test for precision, it is necessary to take 10 measurements...each five minutes apart to allow for the wire to cool. My current system has a single test (each test takes about 10 seconds or so...though it can be made longer). My question is..what would be the best way to automate such a testing procedure, whereby I simply start the VI and it takes the 10 measurements with the necessary breaks in between...without the need for user interference?

You could use the "Get time and Data" function to see if ten minutes have passed. There should be some timing examples that ship with labview.
