How to I create delays (seconds + Minutes) in BASIC program

[Panorama]

I am tyring to generate timed digital outputs via my DAQ (NI USB-6229) and need to create some very simple timing under program control.

The delays are required to be 500ms to 3 sec.

I have tried using the Timer found in the toolbox but having trouble sending the correct parameters.

Could you please help.

What version of Measurement Studio are you using? Have you tried the examples in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET3.5 ? The 6229 should be very capable outputting data between 500ms and 3 seconds, depending on the amount of jitter that is acceptable to your program you could do this using a software loop.

I specifically need examples of using a watchdog Timer in Measurement
Studio.
I am using Measurement Studio 2009 for Visual Studio 2008.
I need to trigger a watchdog timeout when program execution is taking too
long.

The on-line technical support only gives examples for LabView ... not
measurement studio.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
