The difference between timing functions in LabVIEW

First timer function (time delay): Inserts a time delay in VI, specifying the number of seconds to delay before running call VI. The default value is 1.000.

First timer function (Wait (MS)): waits for a specified length of milliseconds and returns the value of the millisecond timer. The function makes an asynchronous system call, but the function node is synchronous. Therefore, until the specified time is over, the function stops executing, and when LabVIEW calls VI, such as a millisecond time value of 112 milliseconds and a waiting period (milliseconds) of 10 milliseconds, the VI execution ends when the millisecond timer value is 122 milliseconds.

Waits until the value of the millisecond timer is an integer multiple of the specified value in milliseconds . This function is used to synchronize each operation. Call this function in a loop to control the rate at which the loop executes. However, the first cycle time may be short.

For example, LabVIEW calls a VI, such as a millisecond multiplier of 10 milliseconds, and a millisecond timer value of 112 milliseconds. VI waits 8 milliseconds until the millisecond time value is an integer multiple of 10 milliseconds, or 120 milliseconds to stop execution.
