about real time control in labview2013

[PKIM]

Hi there,

  I saw a new modules about "Real-Time" added in labview2013. For example, timed-loop and wait next. I wonder if those modules are dependent on the real-time device or could be used for any device? Is that any example to use those functions? Thanks.

Hi PKIM,

"wait for next ms multiple" has been a LabVIEW function since the beginning (I think so, as I already used that function in LabVIEW3.1 nearly 20 years ago)!

TimedWhileLoop is a LabVIEW function since LabVIEW8 (?) and it's not bound to RealTime targets...

You may cross-check the LabVIEW8.0 help for references...

The LabVIEW RealTime Module adds the ability to take advantage of the Determinism offered by a RealTime Target such as the cRIO. These functions will operate in a non RealTime system but they will not function deterministically. In a system such as Windows, the Operating System could preempt a timed loop causing it to deviate in its timed execution while on a RealTime system this will never occur and the loop will execute at the time specified.
