Programmatically change unit of time in a wait function?

[markel580]

Currently using LabVIEW FPGA. I have a wait function that I want to make totally configurable, is there a way to programmatically change the units the wait function uses? Something like changing from milliseconds to ticks from a front panel.

It's all (simple) math.

You can't make the wait programmable, but you can make your own wait with an enum as input.

For instance, if you're waiting for ticks, and want to provide ms:

50 ms  X 40 Mhz = 50 X 40000 = 200000 ticks.

Assuming you're running on 40 MHz.

Edit: oops, nvm my solution just won't work.
