I am writing a program that records the speed of a car and then is supposed repeat the action through the use of an actuator. I was able to write the program to the point where I am saving the data into a .txt file and will be able to read it back out. My problem is that I need to use a dbl value that I am calculating from the output of a DAQ Assistant block that is contained inside a while loop in another part of the program to compare current speed vs. recorded speed then output an action. Everytime I try to draw a connection outside of the while loop, the actual value is not read outside of the loop. I cannot put the other part of the program into the while loop because the while loop only performs every .1 to 1 second and I need the output to the actuator to be a continous string delievered to the serial port. I also cannot create another DAQ Assistant block that reads the same port outside of the while loop. I have thought about using a jumper to another input on the input card, but I would prefer not to use the extra space.
So generally speaking, I'm wondering if there is a way to read a value obtained from a DAQ Assistant block outside of the while loop it is contained in.
Thanks to anyone that can help!!!
