hi all,
I wanted to actually ask what is a good way for implementing a software timeout with in a state. Normally I use tick count for measuring the elaspsed time and once 5 or 10 seconds have been passed then time out condition occurs and state changes. As in the sample VI i am attaching. Now I know this is a crude form of time out so I was wondering what is actually a good programming practice to do such a task. Keep in mind I am not talking about event structure or some visa comunication (as i know they handle time out them self) ....purely software based .
p.s its not home work . simply just something I am wondering over.
Best Regards
