case selector

[huskerli]

Hi guys,

I just wondering at what condition, the second case structure will be true?

I tried couple of times will  different values I gave to elapsed time, looks like no matter what, it always will be false and the true state in the second case sturcture never be executed. May I right?

Thanks

You need a while loop around the elapsed time VI so that it will continue to check.  Otherwise it only checks one time (immediately after starting the timer).

The elasped time vi returns a true when a certain amount of time has elapsed...

The input determines how much time this is for or, if left unwired like in your screen shot, it defaults to 1 second.

Thanks for reply

I think I setup my Elapsed Time for 2 seconds in my case, so is that means every 2 seconds I suppose to get a True run once then if I do have a while loop?

I don't understand what you mean here...

Hi, altenbach

I just want to know what I need to do in order to see the True statement been executed in my case?

Thanks

You need to spin the loop until the time has elapsed.
