Pausing a VI and getting results

[Nghtcrwlr]

I would like to run a VI. At the moment of running that VI i need to get the exact real time from the computer, RT (begin). I also give a time interval T(int)= 2 minutes. I want to check all the time ( at the time during the VI is running) whether the real time of the computer RT(present )  = RT(begin)+T(int).

If it is true then i need to stop the vi. How is this possible.? I tried to get the time from the computer, but it is in string format and it is not possible to add or subtract and check the condition. I also tried with a  Tick count function  but its not wrking. Any ideas.. see the attachment
