Hah, thanks for that addition, but I already know how wait per multiple of 10 ms (forgot to include it in my post). The problem I had was running the loops in parallel, but now that I ran the example for the first time on my computer, I realized that it runs perfectly in parallel if two different loops are used (DUH! I'm a moron...). Previously, I was trying to run the timer and the wait in the same loop in a different test program I made, so LabVIEW would not run it in parallel. I guess I automatically assumed that the same action would of occured using two separate loops. Thanks though, for I wouldn't of realized that LabVIEW automatically runs separate loops on the same frame in parallel unless I used the two loops in an example to post for help.
stupid mistake, huh?
again, thanks everyone for the help :thumbup:
