While loop gets stuck for 15 seconds

Solved!

This while loop shown in the picture above measures a run time of less than 1 second from probe 11 to 13.  However after that it just sits there for 15 seconds before running again.  This only happens when test length is long, there is a correlation there. I don't understand how the loop can just sit there doing nothing for 15 seconds though when there is nothing left to execute.

Is there something underneath your while loop? Looks like some mystery wires on the right side without tunnels.

It likely isn't trying to execute the "Idle" case that you happen to be displaying.  You don't have a probe on the case selection string to let you know which case might be executing instead.  And because you posted only a picture instead of the vi, no one can inspect the other cases.

Someone delete this thread 😂  I was mistaken for trying to measure the time with my probes..... Yes it does indeed take 15 seconds to run the case now that I put date/time sequences down.  I guess the issue does not come down to mysterious magic after all.....
