How to turn Vi on and off every 30 mins?

[detech]

We are doing a kind of testing. We need to turn on and off vi every 30 mins. Please give some clue how to do it.

Thanks

You can use VI server to achieve that. Have a look at the attached VIs. Open callingVI and run the application. It will run main VI and abort it when you press the controls on the front panel. Let us know if you were trying to do something else.

What does that mean, exatly??? ("turn on/off" typically applies to hardware, not programs.)

• Do you want a VI that does a certain action every 30 minutes?
• Do you want a VI that runs for 30 minutes, then waits for 30 minutes, then runs again?
• Do you want a VI that dynamically runs another VI for 30 minutes, then closes it and waits 30 minutes before running another instance of the other VI?
• ...???
