how to run a loop for 1hour

[LV_Enthu]

Hello All,

             I am very new to labview and its components. I want to program a loop which would run for one hour.

Actually, I would like to make it more user friendly, by asking the operator to enter how long he would like to run the code.

Can anyone please suggest me how to do this?

Please excuse me if I entered into wrong forum ...

Something like this

Use a while loop.  Use the Elapsed Time function to determine when to stop the loop.  You can create a control to have the user enter the amount of time, then wire this into the Elapsed TIme function.

Answering a question in G is also faster then writing it. Just like coding.

You should also look at the solution that best solved your answer and mark that one so everyone knows that you question has been answered. This allows the volenteers to move on to questions that have not been answered yet.
