Check the time specified is reached whithin a while loop. Connect the output of the comparison to the case structure.

H PauldePaor,

 

There are various ways to implement this functionality in LabVIEW.  Could you elaborate on the specific application?

You can use the wait untill the next ms function(with  a control input) or create a dedicated bit to trigger a set of events.

 

Your question is not very clear. Can you be more specific

Hi nickf,

 

I used the elapsed time VI with a user input for the time delay and wired the time has elapsed to the case structure. This worked for me
