I need to update system time on the simple OI but when I use "Get system time and date.vi". The indicator on the front panel doesn't get updated every second, there is delay of atleast 5 secs. I tried using parallel while Loop method as well but still the problem persist
May I suggest changing the update time to once per minute. Unless there is a strong reason to have seconds displayed, I would just drop the seconds portion of the time display.
I added a Get Date/Time in Seconds function to the timeout event and made the timeout equal to 1 second. And I also tried a separate loop and had no problems. How exactly did you modify the VI? Is the problem only when a sequence is running?
See attached simple OI modified to display time and date. When I run It, the update on indicator is like this 16:21:04-->16:21:09 (delay of 5 secs).I tried in time out event as well but no sucesss.
I don't have the simple error handler that was used in your older version but the time is updating just fine. You really need a Wait (ms) in the separate loop and if you modify the timeout event, use 1 second as a timeout.
Actually, I have found the fault. Fault is with "ME".
I was operating the VI on remote computer in LAB and there was delay in transmission thats why all this time I was scratching my head. VI display's time correctly at the computer in the lab.
