Hello,
I am using the "Elapsed Time" Express VI with "Target Time" set to 0s and "Auto Reset" set to False. I am using this vi to measure the the time elapsed since this vi was called via the "Elapsed Time (s)" output.
My problem is that when I run my program, the program seems to pause from time to time during data acquisition; however the program is able to complete fully. Observing the output of my program, which uses the time elapsed to perform some calculations, it appears that the "Elapsed Time" is pausing in conjunction with the periodic pauses of the entire program. Furthermore, observing the clock on the Taskbar of my PC, the clock seems to pause in conjunction with the pause of the program.
Is there any relation between the clock on the Taskbar and the "Elapsed Time" Express VI? In other words could the pausing the clock be causing the "Elapsed Time" vi to pause?
The program is an executable and hence I am not able to probe the block diagram of the program to see what the "Elapsed Time" vi is doing during these pauses.
The executable was built in LabVIEW 8.2 (NI Developer Suite), the DAQ card is a PCI 6259, the connector box is a NI SCC-68, and the PC is operating using Windows XP. The vi which this executable was created from runs with no issues; neither the program or Taskbar clock pause.
Thank you,
Karin
