notifier understanding

[robert.berger]

what im trying to accomplish:

. start count down timer.

. every ten seconds, trigger an event via notifier

. do not interrupt counter while triggering event.

. abort at any time via "abort" button

. finish after 60 seconds

what its doing:

. starts count down timer

. after first ten seconds trigger event

. does not interrupt counter

. will abort at any time

. finishes after 60 seconds

. will not trigger event after first ten seconds

obviously im not using the notifier properly and

am hoping someone here can fix my mistake

with a small amount of explanation on what

i did wrong.

the attached "code/vi" shows what i did.

i also added a .jpg screen capture incase of version issues.

thanks,

robert

The reason the dialogue box only happens once is because it is not in a loop. If you add a loop it should solve this problem.

another problem that I ran across was the send notifier case is true for 10 ticks or 100 ms.

this will send a notification twice with a 50 ms timeout and caused me to have to click the ok button more than once.

thank you for the explanation. i was not aware the notifier need to loop. i had mistakenly thought that if the send notification was looped that would be sufficient. this is the modified version.
