Howdy all, There was a similar earlier post asking about wait accuracy over small periods:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000D4A20000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=Accuracy+of+Wait+Function&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0 but I'm interested in the behaviour of the wait function over long periods. If I tell the wait function to wait 19 minutes (so 19*60*1000 = 11400000 ms) assuming average system use (ie, system resources are consistently available, not many programs running in the background), what sort of accuracy can I expect? Or will it end up being entirely system dependent? If NOTHING is going on in the background, can I expect the function to terminate after approximately 19 minutes? (if it's within 30 seconds, I'd be happy) Any better ideas for handling long waits? Any comments, ideas, etc. are appreciated
