I am using a cRIO and would like to have several processes running in parallel. A main functin will have a loop in it which will count up and an certain time intervals pass data to a parallel process. I am not sure how LV will check the current time value and determine if it is time to send the parallel process information (it will send the parallel process a command to start at time X and stop at time Y). I see the code in C as:
for (i; i <= 60; i++)
{
if (i==30)
{
Function(1); //send "1" to function to start action, equivalent of setting a variable in LV and continuously reading that variable in the parallel function
}
if(i==45)
{
Function(0); //send "0" to function to stop condition
}
delay(1second);
}
I am confused about how to create a loop that has a predetermined (changeable) time period that allows me to compare the timer to set times (i.e. 30 and 45) and perform a function if they are equal. I can handle that compare part but I am not sure how to implement the loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
