Delaying recording of signal

Hello

Could you please tell me how I can delay the recording of a signal after the recording button has been started? How do I use the recording options tab?

For example, I would like to start recording readings after 5 seconds, after pressing the 'Record' button. How can I achieve this?

Do you have screenshots or some code to post, because your question can not be interpreted without.

 

What are you recording?

Are you using an existing LV example? When yes, which?

 

In general you could use a functional global to delay the input data for 5 seconds before outputting it again. In other words the functional global has a memory of 5 seconds and outputs everything that is in memory for more than 5 seconds. By the way, the Functional Global has to be created by you. It can also be done in the main VI itself, but it is not very good programming practise.
