Jan Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Hello, I am completely new to LabView and am currently trying out the JKI statemachine. I have already built an interface and the communication with devices such as voltage source, measuring device etc. is also working. However, I'm just missing the idea of how best to start a continuous measurement. Be it a measurement that only starts every 30 seconds, for example, or a measurement that is as fast as the measuring device can go. Do you have any tips for me on the best way to do this? Do I make a timer in the event structure which triggers again and again or do I do this somehow via the user events? I am using Labview 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kring Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Hi @Jan. A design pattern we often use is to put the OpenG Periodic Trigger into the Timeout frame of the Event Structure and enqueue a state when the period occurs. We're currently working on a new 2024 release of the JKI State Machine that has a support VI for Periodic Enqueuing of states. New VI Coming Soon How you can do this today (with Periodic Trigger in the OpenG Time Library) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 Hi @Jim Kring Thank you for your reply. That works great. Then I look forward to the update of the JKI State Machine 😀 But just as it is now, it is a good help to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
