Hi, I'm just getting started with labview. My long term goal is to write an app that captures data from different sources at different rates, and don't quite yet understand how to do it. I drew up a little experiment, to try to understand better, but it raises more questions than it answers.
Try running the attached VI, and set one wait timer to 200 ms, and the other to 500 ms, or any other slow prime multiples of 100 ms.
On my machine, neither one increments the timestamp by the multiple set.
I've also tried 1000 and 999, expecting a slow drift between them, but they appear to run in sync.
Any explanations?
( I know there's a 'wait for multiple' timer, but I'm afraid to use it in case it might skip a beat, so to speak... should I be?)
Thanks,
DF.
