How to start each iteration of one while loop after a certain time has passed for iteration of another while loop

[mdts]

Hi,

I am quite new to LabVIEW and this is my first post. I have attached the screen shot of my VI as well as the VI. What I want to do is, run the While Loop 1, which has a time delay of 6 second between each iteration and then, I want each iteration of While Loop 2 (which runs the For Loop 2 inside it for 3 iterations) to start 3 seconds after each iteration of While Loop 1 starts. Can someone tell me how I can do that? Thanks in advance. Please let me know if my question is unclear.

For example you can use notifier

Notifier can be any type but good idea send number of iteration

1.  If they are dependent on each other (time wise), why not have them in the same loop?

2. You might benefit from learning the State Machine architecture.

Hi mdts, 

Sounds like you'd be best off using one while loop with 2 for loops inside it? Alternativly you can use a Producer Consumer Design. Your producer loop will run at a rate of 6 seconds and then the consumer loop will wait until the other loop has completed before it starts. Using the wait functions should get you what you want.
