I'm currently looking to propose an automated system for one of our tests in the lab. Part of this proposal will include a simulated program to show the sequencing steps. To put it simply, we have 8 velocity and RTD sensors displaced along a moveable platform. The platform is moved in 1 or 2 feet increments in a straight line to build a profile on velocity jets. The velocity limit of the sensors is 500 feet per minute so the first part of my code I would like to scan the channels for 15 seconds, compare the max value of each array to 500 and if the value is greater than 500 move the daq device 1 foot, wait 15 seconds and then scan the channels again. I've come up with the code to analyze the array and compare the values, I'm just not sure how to tell LabVIEW to move the daq device, wait 15 seconds, and then go back to scan mode. Any suggestions?
