FGV Timer with Multiple Pause & Autoreset

[mattmunee]

Overview
This VI Demonstrates how to act as a functional global variable (FGV) with multiple capability and auto reset.

 
Description
Here is a brief description of the example:

To initialize/start the timer, the reset state must be called.  Pause can be called multiple times during operation, and this FGV keeps track of the total pause time to adjust the elapsed time value.

Requirements

1. LabVIEW 2013 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the VI with the input State set to "reset".  This will begin the timer.
2. Run the VI with the input State set to "read".  This will read the elapsed time since the "reset" state was called.
3. Run the VI with the input State set to "pause".  This will pause the timer.
4. Run the VI with the input State set to "unpause".  This will start timing again and determine an adjustment to make to the elapsed time.
