Timed Loop?

[Bladhart]

A simple question that got me stuck for hours.

How do I make a timed loop in TestStand? The loop includes a few steps, and each loop should take x second.

Hi Bladhart,

Try this example

Note this is a timer with a second range not with milliseconds !

Hope this helps

Is there a way to do (ms) range?

Hi Bladhart,

Try using the WIN API GetTickCount()

Hi Bladhart,

Juergen,

I'm curious why you thought your original example only has 1 second resolution? The Seconds() function has 1 msec resolution.

Hi Dennis,

because i dont set a break point and watched the variables Vaule 🙂

The manual on SecondSinceStartup said nothing on ms.

And on the ExpressionBrowser on Second() i dont read the hole part.

But now i did it.

So thank you Dennis for pointing out that resolution is ms

I wish you and all other members out there

a happy new year 2009

Can you please tell me a program that opens .seq files?

TestStand obviously. Why would you hijack this thread for your question? Are you even sure you need to open a TestStand sequence file?
