How to get live elapsed time in my state machine

[Mark Yedinak]

Here is a simple example of a parallel timer. This was whipped up pretty quickly and I was lazy and didn't create a typedef for the ENUM for the timer events. But this gives you a simple example of how you can handle this in a parallel task. You could also incorporate this into your current state machine but it does create additional overhead. Separate tasks (parallel loop) are a nice way to handle this type of thing.

Here's an example of how to implement it in your state machine. The while loop would be your state machine loop. However with a little smarts you could probably make this into a subVI function.

Do you happen to have an example of a timer? Maybe a start, stop and reset function?

Here's a timer functional global that I whipped up not too long ago:
