How to simulate hardware stroke counter? how to generate a signal which trigger's every second

[Fezz]

Hi All,

I am kind of new to Labview, I am trying to simulate a hardware stroke counter. the problem is i can't find a way of making a signal which generate a pulse once every two seconds and then a counter which counts the number of pulses that has been done!

it must be really simple but I don’t seem to get my head around it. can anyone help me please?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards

The code is a snippet.  You can drag it (or save it) to a convenient location, then drag it onto a block diagram and it becomes code!  🙂

Gerd's attached image is actually a VI snippet.  You should be able to save it locally on your desktop and then drag the image into LabVIEW (doesn't usually work dragging the image directly from a web browser unless you make use of a plugin).

In case that doesn't work though:

Wait Until Next ms Multiple

The metronome icon.

Increment PtByPt

The icon that has the increment (+1) icon inside it.

While Loop

The gray box around the whole thing.

Oh and the Green arrows on the edges of the while loop are a shift register, you can create this through the right-click menu when you right-click on the edge of the while loop.
