Array cycle counting

Hello folks.

 

I have an (I think) interesting problem that I'm looking for a better solution to.

 

I have an array of temperature values designed to cycle a temperature chamber.:

Each element of the array has the oven temperature, the cycle duration (in mins) along with some other information. The array must be able to loop in on it's self so a "Loop to" and "Number of loops" is also include.

EG:

element 1 (20deg, for 30min) then go to

element 2 (30 deg in 30 mins) then stay at

element 3 (30 deg for 30 mins), loop to element 2 7 times then to go element 4 

element 4 (45 deg for 30 mins) stay at for 30 mins then end the sequence.

 

Now Im trying to find the total time the temperature chamber will run for from the time in the array. In the example above the total time would be 480 mins

 

I have included my (rather clumsy) source code (which works but is not verry elegant)

 

Can anybody think of a better way?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chuck

Can you post the "Oven Cycle.ctl" that you were using with this VI.

Oops, forgot to look at the date before posting. At least it is only 3 months old and not a year, haha.
