string input delay (and carriage return)

[veritas]

hello,
         I'm trying to input a string to a "write visa", but the designer says I need at least a 10msec delay between each string.  I've been messing around with sequence structures, but can't seem to figure it out.  Is there a quick solution to this? Basically, I just want to input 3 strings to the "write visa" vi, with a 10msec delay between each input.

also, just a random question,  does \n    symbolize carriage return?

thank you,
vertias

Place 3 write Visa function with a 10ms delay before each function. Connect the 3 input strings to each write visa function

[Vsh]

and \n is line feed

\r is carriage return

There is no reason to duplicate code.

All you need is a single instance of Visa write in a FOR loop containing a small wait. Now you simply iterate over an array of three commands via autoindexing. Modify as needed.

 (Currently it waits after each write for code simplicity. This might be OK in most cases).
