how to design two timed loop

[flysinger]

hi,

    I want to design a two timed loop, one is to display the time every 1 second, the other one is to display the number of from 0 to 5 every 0.5s. I used time event for the first part and a "for loop" for the second part. But it doesn't work well. Please tell me what's wrong with it.

Thanks

Your For loop takes 3 seconds to run.  The event structure runs with the 1 second timeout.  The loop doesn't iterate until all code inside of it is done, meaning it will take 3 seconds.

Also, put a stop button control to stop the loop instead of having an infinite loop with the False constant on the Loop terminal.

I noticed the problem that only after the loop ends can time event take action . However, I have no idea how to realize two timed loop. Can you give me some suggestion ?I appreciate your words.

Put the event structure in its own while loop.  Then they will run independently.
