While Loop with Delay

[Beth_K]

I am working on a program that needs to record data for a given time, undergo a delay, and then record data after the given delay time again. I have the delay working with a loop within the main loop, but it only records one set of data, i.e. 1 value for each channel, before delaying and continuing the same process. Any comments or suggestions as to the best way to achieve the goal or alleviate the problem?

Checkout this code. It will run for a period of time specified in the sample period length, pause for the period of time specified in the delay between sample periods, and repeat the process until you stop it...

can you provide an example?

Sequence structure? Record data in the first frame, delay in frame two,
record some more in frame three.

The coding and instrument set up will be very different depending of your hardware.(gpib,daq,sxci etc..) It would be helpful to see your program.
