I have an oven that i want to communicate with. I am using the gpib example vi from labview, but now i want to be able to run a thermal cycle with commands. How do i setup the wait time between commands?
You have a lot of time functions on the Timing (LabVIEW 8.x) or Time & Dialog (LabVIEW 7.x or lower) palette. The simplest is the Wait (ms) or Wait Until Next ms Multiple. The Delay function has error in/error out connectiosn so you could wire these up for dataflow. You could also use the tick count or Get Date/Time in Seconds where you compare the existing time to a previous time maintained in a shift register. The Elapsed Time has a Boolean output that could be wired to a case statement.
