I noticed that any other code in my while loop only gets called at the 1st time through the loop and when a event is executed.

HI there!

I have a while loop, in which i am reading from/writing  to a compact rio. Furthermore, i added a event structure, its the 1st time i'm using it so i'm a bit lost at times.

I have the event structure set up for all my button i want to trigger an event. However, i have some other code which i would also like to be executed, evebn though no event has been executed.

I noticed that the other stuff in the loop only gets executed the 1st time through the loop and when an event is triggered.

My question therefore is, how do i get the other stuff to execute as well?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Put the other code in the timeout event case.  Wire some positive value to the timeout hourglass input.  That code will execute everytime a timeout occurs.  For instance, if you wire 100 into the timeout, the code in that case will execute every 100 mSec.
