You may have told me that before but it didn't "stick". Now I think I get it. LabVIEW queues the tasks and the OS multi-tasks them.
Therefore, it doesn't matter what order LabVIEW queues the 5ms timer task and the 1ms task because the OS will "run them both". In the 2010 FRC LabVIEW framework, what algorithm does the OS use to decide what task to run and how long to run it? Is it a simple time-slice with equal slices for all queued tasks? Or does the OS look at deadlines and give priority to tasks whose deadlines are imminent?
