repeat actions

[agyna]

Hi,

How do you make this function repeat every 5 seconds?

SetCtrlVal (panel, PANEL_MESSAGES,"\n\n Data Rate \n");

Thanks

With a timer control, in the timer callback put your SetCtrlVal statement.  Look up timer control in the CVI help.

Don't use an async timer, as it will run on a separate thread and you won't be able to reliably update a GUI control from an async callback.

Hi,

you can use a timer and a timer callback. Search for timer in the help provided by CVI or have a look at the sample programs (Help / Find Examples)
