show value every 10 seconds

[Lun13]

Hi,

 I am trying to create a moving average for the data I am collecting. I have managed to implement the movingaverage.vi into my program, but now I want to display the actual value on the front panel but only once every couple of seconds (at the moment I am collecting data many times a second and this is too quick to read on the front panel). Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Place the indicator inside the true case of a case structure and set the case to true once every 10 seconds.

There might be examples of this on the forum.  The easiest implementation is to use a State Machine, where you enter the "refreshDisplay" event at timed interval. 

Have a look at the attached example.

Thanks for the replies - how do I set the case structure to be true every 'x' seconds? I have attached the vi I have so far.

use elapsed time vi.

reset it after every 10 sec as per your requirement
