Hello,

I took the subVi of the Time Elapsed VI and I've added a button control (Stop) ... if you want to included as the Time Elapsed express VI then you have to think that the value should be transfer as a reference and not as a simple variable, or it could work with a global variable.

Hi, Oriana...

Can I just pause the time elapsed vi but not stop it?

If you include that as subVi into a while loop then you can stop/start the timer as many times as you want ... because the controlers/indicators if are not initialised keep theires values.

I am sure RafelK will be happy to find the solution after 8 years 😉 Specially since he was last time logged in in 2014...

 

By the way, I do not like the solution from the CLD preparation material which you just attached. Much more compact to program your own FGV with shift registers.

When paused, keep track of how much time in Pause so it doesn't affect the total elapsed time when calculated from Now - Start Time.   ???
