Execute when case is true and stop when time is up

[rouven84]

I don't really know if I understood your code.
But for me, it looks like the timer starts, no matter if the particle has reached size.
I want it to start the moment, the particle has the right size.

The problem I'm seeing is, that the counter starts counting down, before there's a particle to measure anyway.

I think that will work

Sorry. I don't really get it. :mansad:

What's the outer while-loop? the one I already have for acquiring from the camera?
And how does your code work?
"When your case is false, and the time is up, it should execute the code"?

Sorry, I'm not really good in LabView so far.

"What's the outer while-loop? the one I already have for acquiring from the camera?"  Yes.

Use the highlight execution to see how the code works

ok, I understand what it's trying to do.

But it just won't work. 😞

Isn't there another way to check one condition, start something based on that and stop checking the condition, which is already true?

Why don't you post your vi ?

[rouven84]

I can't do that.. it's somehow 'confidential'. 😉

We don't need the vi as it is. Remove almost everything, inside case structure, and every else.

Make a simple vi as an example, and we will see why it does not work, that part

Thanks.

I've managed to solve the problem with some case structuring.
