start VI at desired time?

[krispiekream]

hi,

i was wondering if there is a way to automattically start a vi at a certain time?

Sure, two ways.

1.  Schedule it in the Windows scheduler program.

2.  Set up your VI so that you start it right away, but it doesn't advance into the real part of your code until the scheduled time as passed.

is this what you mean?

i never worked with time before so i dont know how this work.

how would i do it so that if the value of "SET START TEST" IS CHANGE FROM ITS DEFAULT value, then stay in the while loop.

if the value is not change, then go to "Stop" stage.

meaning that if i didnt set the "Set Start Test", then don't worry about it, but if I do, then don't go to the next stage unless time is passed?
