stop a VI if it does not give a value or it exceeds a certain time

[ziedhosni]

Hello,

I would like to stop a running vi if a timer exceeds a certain time. I am running a calculation but sometimes it takes ages to finish so, I would like to programmaticaly stop its VI if let's say run over 1min without giving a result and stopping by itself.

Thanks,

Zied

You can try using Elapsed time. Example in this might give hint: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/05A9C3B0A4D5A7638625712B006FB30F

Hey Zied,

As udka mentioned, you could probably do this using the elapsed time VI.

Also, you may have better luck with further LabVIEW questions if you post them in the LabVIEW Forum, since this doesn't really pertain to machine vision.

could you send your example vi and place that you want to stop suddenly
