A newbie to Labview Questions about interrupts

[Greg McKaskle]

I'm not sure I understand the "if statement" description either, but perhaps an overview of the architecture and framework will help.

The cRIO and driver station are running independently and take part in a notify/respond protocol. As an example, for teleop, the DS will send the latest values of each joystick to the robot, the robot will extract those from the packet and store them so they can be retrieved with a WPI function. The arrival of this packet is often used by the robot to measure and other sensors and update outputs and setpoints. The framework also supports timed tasks which can operate independent of the DS packets. It is also possible to setup sensor triggers -- this is the closest to interrupts that most teams will need.

If you have other questions, please ask.
