[Yamaeda]

A nicer way of saying what i did in my first. 🙂

actually this could give me what i wanted but i wanted to know how to apply delay in formulla node

i want to be able to use either graphic or c programming language

You have already been told that you cannot place a delay in a formula node. It simply makes no sense to even want to in your case. You have also been shown how to turn a Boolean on and off with LabVIEW. What are you confused about the code?

[to0raj]

im not confused

i got what i wanted to know

but i wanted know if there is any way to use the delay

ok so there is no way to apply a delay there

also its nonsense

thanks for reply buddy

The only way to do it is to create some long running while or for loop.  But there is really no way to control how long that lasts as it is going to vary from PC to PC based on execution speed.

There are no timing or wait statements that you can use for a formula node.

So basically forget trying to do a delay in a formula node, for all practical purposes it can't be done.

"I want to be able to use either graphic or c programming language"

If want to use LabVIEW, then you should be using the graphical programming elements.  Only use "C" (I quoted that because the formula node is not C, but just a collection of some basic text language commands) for those times where there is a complicated formula that can be more efficiently typed in a text based language in the formula node than created graphically.

If you want to use C, then close LabVIEW and open up Microsoft Visual Studio.

thanks for support greg

as i said befor i just started labview and there are some blur points in programming with graphical methot

i still sometimes drift away and like to use c or any basic text language

i have to change my view i think

buy the way thank ya all for replying!!
