top priority of timeout in event structure.

[stevem181 · Accepted solution]

As mentioned, Dynamic (or User) Events can be used to make a simple, effective timer.

This image is a snippet of the attached file "Simple User Event.vi":

 

The attached file "UTO plus Mouse.vi" has a User Timeout (with timing check) and it tracks the mouse position.

Add a queue to the timer loop get more functionality. For example changing the timing.

A programmable event generator is another option for this structure.

Thanks Knight.

Your comment is very helpful.

Regarding other question,

If a user stop the movement of mouse, the analysis result is updated  on the lastest point by sending a command to the consumer loop from

mouse move event but from timeout event.

Frankly, my application has been enough with timeout loop because any other input parameter was block for a measurement.

However, I figured out mouse movement on plot can be consumed so much.
