comparing timestamps using shift registers

[PatrickLye]

I'm confused. How do you make TIME update randomly by putting it into different loops? LabView is powerful, but making time move about randomly?

[TeamHalli]

Data is being generated by a controller. Everytime that data updates, the time when it updated is shown in a timestamp.

[PatrickLye]

Ok, it was a grammar thing...

Look at this. I hope this isn't homework. It could be done cleaner, but this will give you an idea.

Hi Patrick,

I use LabVIEW 2013 and cannot open the test VI you sent.

Thank you for resending.

You'll need the open G toolkit

Do you need to do it by feeding in timestamps? Why not just run it right next to where your data pops out?

Thanks to the way you uploaded your zip file, it includes the Boolean Trigger function already.

[TeamHalli]

Yes Gregory I need to use the timestamp...

With a minor change from Patrick's test VI, I was able to get the solution I was looking for.

Thank you!

You shouldn't put your x and y controls inside the case.

[TeamHalli]

By the way, this snippet I showed would be part of a larger code, so the X and Y variables inside the case structure would be local variables. Is that OK?
