time delay

[Ayyaz]

hello,

i'm doing a little project on fuel control system. I want to know how to add simple time delay in my input. the input is fast but the output in real life is slow. so i want to slow down the input with time delay or. how is it possible. its just like heating the water. you can open the stove gas fast but the water takes time to heat.

Hi Ayyaz,

your "little project" is lacking some basic elements!

- When your program should run for a while you should put a loop into and have the loop run until a STOP button is pressed.

- You don't want to "wait" to simulate real world behaviour: when you heat up water it will not take 5mins and then it magically switches from 20°C to 95°C. Instead it will heat up continuously with a slow ramp! To simulate this you could use a ramp function - LabVIEW offers such a function…

- You don't need a MATLAB script to calculate some simple math:
