10 second countdown timer

[Snow22]

I am working on a countdown timer VI that counts down from 10 and goes to 0.

Need to be able to pause, stop, and reset the timer whenever the user has pressed the button dedicated to that event.

very simple VI, however, I am stuck on the reset aspect of this VI

You forgot to attach your "very simple VI"!

How should we help when we don't know your code?

I recommend using FGV Timer SubVI

my apologies

Hi Snow,

unfortunately you are using a very recent LabVIEW version.

To get more audience you should downconvert to some older versions as many of us don't use LV2022/2023 due to subscription license issues. (File->Save for Previous)

I prefer LV2019…

makes sense. I changed it to 2019

Hi Snow,

please read the help for the event structure, especially the paragraph on "caveats…"!

(You should not place a loop running for a long time inside an event case. NEVER!)

Why don't you place the countdown logic in a timeout event case? Use the outer loop to keep the shift register(s)!

You may use the GetTick/GetDateTime function to accurately measure the elapsed time…
