not getting the results i want

[reggie2016]

In my file input output new i am trying to simultaneously stimulate and record data. I want the recording part to start before the stimulating part. I want to pulse one signal through at a time with my control. Can someone help me? is it worth the $150 for the online class for labview for the year i think.

If you plan on using LabVIEW more than once, training is incredibly important. Would you jump in to programming in java without learning something first? There are free avenues to do this.

Here are some free training tools primarily focused on LabVIEW and NI hardware to help get started.

-LabVEW Basics

LabVIEW Wiki on Training

Based on how many posts you've been putting on here for help with this simple thing, I think you should spend some time to understand how LabVIEW and dataflow works, so that you can help yourself figure out the best way to make your program do what you want. 

LabVIEW programming is based entirely on dataflow and parallelism. This is incredibly powerful and has lead to its success over the years (coupled with the graphical programming), but is usually one of the first things that new developers stumble over. The Highlight Execution feature is a great way to watch how your application utilizes dataflow.

I dont even know how to use java. Programming isnt really focused on in biomedical engineering at the college i go to. So ive been trying to teach myself this for the last two years and havent been to successful but thank you. Im using labview for research i am working on.

Talk about not understanding an analogy.

Hi reggie2016,

I think that if you have already been using LabVIEW for 2 years, and plan to continue using it for the near future, then you really should take the time to do the training.  The training isn't that long compared to how much time you are going to spend troubleshooting and asking for forum help if you don't do the training.
