change the time loop from 5ms to 250 ms ?

[sticyfinger]

are there any ways you can change the time loop from 5ms to 250 ms ? while test is running ? 

example code in labview version 8 are welcome ..  🙂

Are you referring to a timed loop? You can simply change the dt value using the right-hand parameters.

thank for the fast reply

i want to read something every 5ms.  when stop button pushed i want to wait 250 ms and read again. will this work ??

or should i exit loop then read again ???

That's a little different than what you asked initially. It now sounds like you are trying to do a one-time reading, but simply keep the loop at 5 msec. In that case, just put a delay inside the case structure to cause a 250 msec delay. Use a different button than the Stop button so you don't play games with Boolean functions.

yeah it is. sorry about that.

i want it to stop at it does the 250 ms reading. 

[sticyfinger]

yeah it is. sorry about that.

i want it to stop after it take the reading after 250 ms.

Then you still don't need to change the loop's time. Just feed out a Boolean constant out of the case structure and OR it with the Stop button.
