How to make a timer?

Hi everyone,

 

I want to make a timer that calls a function or something every time interval, its the same as the MATLAB function Timer. for example, during a measurment if I recieve 2 new values everytime, I want to check if they are smaller or bigger not continuously but every 5min, without stopping the whole measurment.

 

thanks!

Use some shift registers or feedback nodes to compare the current tick count with the tick count when you started the timer + the length of your timer.
