Wait Function

[WizenedEE]

None of your posts really say why a loop with a 10ms delay would run at 500hz consistently, just why it may be noisy. I think the original poster meant that it was pretty consistent with its 2ms time.

The probably may be that you didn't wire up a string to the "name" part of the vi, and you're calling it twice within the same vi. Not wiring up a name is fine for teleop, where there's only one loop, but you probably want to do it in periodic tasks, where there may be multiple loops you want to measure.

Doh. That would explain a lot. I normally wire the string, but it was built so that when unwired, it will use the VI name. Are you calling the Elapsed time multiple times with the same string -- unwired from the same VI? Because honestly, I wasn't liking my explanation. I wouldn't expect more than about 2ms of noise jitter.

No, we only call the elapsed time vi once in periodic task and once in teleop. Both times we left them un-named. But it should be okay since we only dropped it in one of the while loops in periodic task and not multiple loops?

Something is incorrect.
Care to zip and post the project as-is?

I ran a test on the default framework to be sure and I get 10-11ms
