While Loop VS Time Loop

[Waterppk]

Hello,

I have inherited a VI that is running a while loop and a timed loop in parallel. The while loop has no delay/wait until next so it's just cruising along eating CPU time, the timed loop is set for every 2ms but obviously finishes late on every iteration.

Is the while loop capable of blocking execution of the timed loop?

Thanks!

Yes.

drop a zero ms wait in the loop to tell the sceduler

"run this fast as possible but gives others a chance at the CPU once per iteration."
