2) In my post to which you replied, was my conclusion correct that the periodic task should be coded as a one-shot, and not wrapped in an infinite loop?

and finally

3) Are you sure that it means to wait 5ms from the time you last asked it to start running? Or is it 5ms from whatever time it is when the CPU encounters the request to re-schedule?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. To the best of my knowledge that wait timer starts at the same time the vi executes. If it waited to start until after the cpu re-requested it to schedule, your actual wait time would be the vi processing time + the wait time, which isn't the case. Does that make sense?
