How to obtain data from a device and display that data in an infinite loop

[RAJAT123]

I'm trying to run an infinite loop where I'm testing a robot for thermal insulation.

I send the robot a command to run infinitely (using VISA communication)..., the robot starts running.

At the same time I obtain the temperature data from its motors (through sensors) and want to display it. The data should be refreshed at regular itervals but I only get broken display of the data at various instances of time during the robot's test-run.

I fear that there is a problem with the time synchronization. But having tried many permutations of time delays at various points in the program, I can not find the fault.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

We really need screen shots (*png format/NOT .bmp!) or attached code to see what might be the problem. There are an infinite number of mistakes that can be made (or nearly so), depending on how a program is written.

Hi

That could be a timing problem, did you try the LabVIEW VISA examples in the Example Finder ? (LabVIEW -> Help -> Find Examples)

There are several examples for using VISA with the serial interface.
