LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Timed-loop structure

RT programming: Timed loops
RT guide

A "timed loop" is a while-loop structure that executes at a precise user-specified rate. Timed loop are particularly useful for process control loops that demand a reliable update rate.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Timed loop (deterministic process loop) with loop time measurement indicator and LED blinker

Timed loop
RT code

Use the "Timed Loop" to create a deterministic process loop, i.e., a loop that runs with a precisely-defined time per iteration.

LabVIEW RT block diagram: Measure the number of elapsed RT ticks per loop iteration

Measure loop iteration time
RT code

Use the "Tick Count" function to measure the total elapsed time per iteration of a process loop.
