Auto pressing a button

[Oesen]

Hello everyone. Is there any setting in Front Panel, to auto pressing a button in every "x" seconds i can define it to. I made a program and i have to press a button every 15. seconds, so i can be away from keyboard and still make measurements.

Thanks in advance

You can even make measurements every 15 seconds even without involving any buttons.

How to do it depends on the program, so please show us your code. Thanks.

Thanks for the answer 🙂

You could assign a timeout to the measurement case.

(You are building the data array way too complicated. All you need is a "build array". No need to take the size, then use "insert into array". You also seem to have race conditions, because the "elapsed time is measured first, potentially way before the measurement is taken.)

Hi Oesen

Did you have a chance to look a altenbach's recommendations? He is right in that the timeout case would be the right thing for you to use.

I have modified you VI to include this timeout in the top loop. Let me know if this works for you.

Can you upload it as a 2010 version please 🙂

Here you go, please let me know if this solves you problem

Thanks !.. That solved my problem, but is there any way to define the timeout time (15s) in the Front Panel instead of the Block diagram ?

Turn the constant of 15,000 into a control.
