Travis, I would like to check whether the problem I was having with the device I mentioned was fixed in 8.2. Can you compile these VIs into PocketPC executables using 8.2 and post them back? I will then run them on the device and report the results.

tst,

I built your VIs for you in LabVIEW PDA 8.2.  I also did some testing and it looks like the timeouts and waits are indeed waiting for around 50 ms.  The only thing I saw was that on the TCP VI you have a listen with an indefinite timeout which never finished running, however the while loop ran.  Please let me know if you have any questions/comments. 

Thanks!

I couldn't run those on the problematic device (it said it was missing a component), but I did manage to run them on another device with WM 2003SE. The problematic device runs CE 4.2, not PocketPC. Should that make a difference when compiling the executable?

Just to reiterate my problem - that device is an industrial terminal and my problem was that the programs will only run at a normal rate if the user continuously interacts with the device (e.g. holding the stylus to the screen). The second you stop, the programs start running MUCH slower. The assumption was that it had to do with the device going into a special mode where it's still active, but uses less cycles to save on battery.
