Is it possible to use a while loop to read data, look for a certain value and upon finding that value start a timer to end the while loop after a specific amount of time?

If you are using a while loop to read data from various DAQ channels, upon finding a specific value on one of the channels is it possible to then start a timer to end the while loop after a specific time while still reading the various channels?

Here's a little image of what I would do if I were you.

Hope this helps ! Feel free to correct me if that's not what you were looking for.
