how to run my program for 0.6 seconds?

[suave-o]

I have to obtain magnetic values for ferromagnetic materials using labview and two thyristors.

What i have: I have built a comparator on labview which will compare a mains voltage and my ref voltage. The mains volatge is carried into the VI via a daq assistant. the outcome (voltage) is then passed to th two thyristors, once again via a daq. The thyristors will then pass the voltage along to the magnetic circuit for only!!! 0.6seconds?? as voltage from the mains is very powerful. this is a university project where i work supervised in a lab. Thank you

What type of DAQ interface are you using? That changes the options for how to control the timing.

Thanks for getting back to me.

i have been on holiday so sorry for the late reply. im am using a USB-6000 series prototyping accessory the only one available at university. does this help?
