starting while loop with a delay

[gsajja]

Hello,

         A  simple question. Is there a way to start a while loop after 2 sec delay? 

thanks.

You could enclose all of your "working code" in a case statement, have the loop running (at whatever loop rate < 2 seconds) and in the "non-working code" case check for an elapsed time of 2 seconds. If you need to have it be more accurate you could have a sub-vi that waits two seconds, but has an internal "first call?" from the "Syncronization pallette, to allow it to wait only the first time through the loop. The first example I gave has the possible error of a whole "loop time", the later is only limited to the accuracy of your timing source.
