In my program , big motors or fans turn on suddenly depend oneither temperature or user action , I want to insert a 5 sec delay just before any of the fan starts, and turn on a buzzer for 5 sec . I used a True Boolean signal to ON the motors , how can I insert a delay. I used several nested loop ( case structure )and some of the motors already tied with timer that makesit complicated , I am using LabVIEW8.2 , any help in this regard will be highly appreciated ..
If I understand correctly what your problem is, here is a suggestion. Make a separate loop that runs in parallel with your nested loops. Communicate with this separate loop from the main loop using queues. Put the 5 second delay in the separate loop. That way your main loop can continue to run at the same speed it is now, but you can have the 5 second delay before the motor actually turns on.
Thanks Allen , I am going to try it , I was really busy at the end of the week , hope fully I will try to day thay way next week , but i think i need as many separate loops as i already have ... lets see , i will let you know
