stop plot if time elapsed

[JASMIN185]

Hello, i have the following application : 

I clic on start measurment button -> the SM moves to supervision state 

• if the continuous recording LED is on -> the SM moves to wait for event state and wait for user to press on stop button to move to the stop mesure state
• if the continuous recording LED is off -> the SM moves to wait elapsed time state and wait that the recording time is elapsed " example 1h " to move to the stop mesure state. 

i have probleme in calculating the elapsed time = wait elapsed time state!

We can't really debug truncated pictures.

(we have no idea what's in the other of the visible case structure. we have no idea where all the terminals of your local variables are, What determines the start time? what's in that seemingly pointless subVI? Where is the "continuous LED", what determines its value (is that a control or indicator)? etc.)

Hi, Jasmin185

I am not quite clear with your coding but a suggestion from me is that:

1. Get time during the wait for event state for the start time
2. Get time during the wait elapsed time state for the end time
3. Calculate the elapsed time by subtracting the end time and the start time

Maybe this can give you some ideas:
