I am attempting to start and stop a counter output (creates pulsed output) in a while loop and I am not sure how this can be accomplished. I have a while loop running that is taking measurements from a digital compass. If my heading is within an acceptable range, the counter outputs (2 of them for turning left and right) should be turned off. If the heading is outside the acceptable range, lets say too far to the right, I want to start one of my counter outputs to turn the object to the left. The issue I am having is that if I put the "Start Task" block in the while loop the system will try to start each iteration of the loop, even if it is already on. I don't know if this is a problem, but it doesn't seem efficient from a programming standpoint. I remember reading somewhere that stopping and starting tasks can really slow down a loop. Any suggestions?
