Getting execution time of a VI

[Larry.C]

Hi GerdW,

As an alternative method of benchmarking the code which is time based and not CPU processing based can I suggest making a custom probe to simply probe your loop and work out the exact time that way?

Refer to this page for info on benchmark/debug techniques including the custom probes.

Kind Regards,

Hi GerdW,

I agree, few more details to be provided and appreciate your help.

The VIs I use are for equipment and are provided by vendor (wrapped *.dlls).  The first VI is "HW init", How can one execute it w/o the equipment?

Does it make sense that in the middle of VI execution there will be CPU "wait" states?

What is the "middle" of your VI?  
-It means during wrapped dll execution there are some wait states (maybe conditioned till HW response). and this is expected operation.

Thanks
