Auto-resetting boolean after 5 seconds?

[Chickensoup]

Hey,

At first sorry for my bad English, I'm Dutch

I have a case-structure and I want it to be 'true' for 5 seconds (after I push the boolean) and then be false again.

I fixed that with an extra case-structure wich contains an  'Elapsed time' that returns 'false' after 5 seconds.

But... I want to be able to do that several times while the VI's runs. Right now I can only do it once because the 'Elapsed time' doesnt go back to zero after it returns "false".

ANY suggestions are very welcome 🙂

ps I put my VI in the attachement

Cheers

Try setting the "Auto-Reset" input of the Elapsed Time function to TRUE.  This will reset the timer each time it hits its time target.

Thanks for your reply, I allready tried that but then the true false case that contains the 'elapsed time' stays true (it just keeps running)

Hi chickensoup,

Check this code.I have disabled some code in your block diagram. Have changed mechanical action of Boolean control.

Is this what you want?

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this is not what I need. For now i made a compromise and use 2 buttons
