Need help changing a measurement time limitation.

[nelson]

I have a VI that was created for my company a while back and its been running fine for us. But now we would like to extend the measurement time past 10 seconds nd it just wont take. I have searched all over the VI for clues but I cant seem to find it. I really do not know much about LabView I was hoping one of you GUrus could help me out. I will attach the VI to this post if someone is willing to take a look at it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
LabView Newbie

LN,
After taking a quick look at your program, I assume you are referring to the fact that you can't enter a value greater than 10 sec into the "Measure Time (sec)" control.

This should be an easy fix for you. With the program not running, right-click on the Measure Time control and select Data Range... from the popup menu. On the data range dialog that appears you will see that this control has a maximum value of 10.0 specified. Change this value to your desired maximum acquisition time and hit OK. You can now enter values up to your new maximum.

If you have any more questions, let me know.

Good Luck,
Scott Menjoulet

Wow! Thank You so much that was so simple I feel silly. I guess its time to take some LabView courses. It worked perfectly just as you said Thank You again and Happy Holidays to You and all !

You're Welcome. Don't feel to silly. It was easy, but if you're new to LabVIEW it can take some time to get up to speed. Go ahead and take a course, but nothing gets you familiar with it like working on project.

Good Luck and Happy Holidays to you too!
