Alternative loop execution

[Sting]

 Hi

I need to move my motor  in two axis. I have four while loop inside the sequence structure, I have to execute each while loop  for 5 sec, After press running, 1^st loop continuously execute unless I  stop manually.   How I can define the some condition to  stop the 1^st loop after 5 sec, then 2^nd loop start execute for 5 sec and so one. I don’t have voltage information to define  condition to  stop 1^st loop.  Anyone help me to sort  loop execution problem.

Many Thanks

Hi there,

In order to stop your while loop after 5 seconds, you can use an Elapsed time express vi inside your while loop and wire the "time has elapsed" output to the conditional terminal of the while loop. This will allow you to execute the while loop for the amount of time you specify in the Elapsed time express vi. I have attached a very simple vi that allows you to do that.

Hope this helps.
