Chronometer/Timer with pause stop and reset

[bmtanguay]

Hi,

I try to create a timer with a pause, a reset and a stop button but it doesn't work. I did some research and found a timer vi that can start, stop, pause but not reset. That vi uses the vi express Elapsed time wich allows to reset and reset automatically the timer with a boolean constant (or button) . My timer can pause only when reset and reset automatically are set at true.Has anybody have an idea of how I can improve my code in order to have a vi that behaves like a chronometer (a vi that can pause, stop and reset)? My vi is in the link below.

Thank you

FunctionalGlobalVariable is the good way, and you can extend its funcionality as you need, like to have separate functions, and reading different states. So it can be very flexible inside a main VI, you can call it from different places, without causing race conditions. Have a look at this solution, but of course usually you just need something much simpler FGV for your application...

edit: just to note it, in the above post community example, it is not elegant (neither efficient) to put connector pane controls and indicators inside a case structure (for example in a CLD exam you get point deduction for that! 🙂 ).
