I Said Stop
In the previous section’s exercise, there were problems with the final program. The diagram below shows how the code worked, and where it was causing problems.

Wait_Num.vi
In order to fix these issues, we will need to delay the program and force a sequence of operations. To delay the program, we will use the Wait_Num.vi. This function allows you to set a delay for a specific amount of seconds. To force a sequence of operations, we will use the NXT Terminals that are located on the sides of each NXT and TETRIX functions. The terminal on the left is an input, the right is an output. The basic property of data flow requires data to be at all inputs before the function can run. Therefore each function must wait to receive data to it’s NXT input terminal before it runs.
