[Tim_W.]

Overview

This example is a subVI that can will give a boolean true during a user-specified time range each day. 

Description

This code could be used in a variety of applications that run for extended periods. This example was originally created for a NI Discussion Forum Thread. The Format Date/Time String function is set to work on a 24 hour clock, but can be changed to a 12 hour clock by using the format string "%I:%M:%S".

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code 

1. Download the attached VI

2. Drop it into LabVIEW and create control architecture to set the time limits

3. Use the boolean output to control logic-based architecture such as Case Structures
