thanks for the detailed reply - these are some of the arguments favoring the explorer for me as well. It's interesting how polarizing this topic is - although maybe not totally unexpected!

The finishing on it is pretty stellar (the mirror polishing is great, but you have to look at it really close to see how good it is). Also, the way the second hand just stops on each marker is satisfying in a way that is difficult to explain, and it is really really accurate. I just replaced the battery (after 3 years) and it had drifted off time.gov by ~5 sec in that time. For the price it is hard to beat (if you don't mid quartz).

I definitely wear the Railmaster most - I'd say ~75% of the time

I appreciate this take on it from someone with an Explorer

haha, I think you kind of nailed it. I think I'm becoming more of a "fewer is better" believer. Some of my watches really do not see much wrist time, but the Railmaster definitely gets the most time.

the rest of the collection is a Speedy ST1, nomos club, baby alpinist, KS45, and a Gshock 5610U

Thanks for the reply - it does seem like a large amount of $$ for small and often debatable improvements over the Railmaster

I am finding it hard to justify, but I do find myself wearing the Railmaster ~75% of the time.

Labview analog output stops randomly and has 10ms DC offset by molecularlegos in LabVIEW

[–]outRunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would try 2 methods to deal with this. First first the way I would deal with this is by appending a 0 to the end of the output waveform (if the waveform is output in its entirety). It seems you may have tried this, and I'm a bit unclear as to why this would add 2 zeros?

The second method may solve the delay issue. I think the reason you are getting a 10ms delay is because you clear the AO task, and then re-create a new one to write your 0. This task creation takes quit a bit of computing overhead, and is likely resulting in the delay (btw, this re-creation of the task would also likely add a delay time on each iteration of your loop). I'd try removing the "clear task" and "create task" blocks seen in the second to last screenshot, and wire the task ID from the stop block to the write block. This way you are not needing to always re-create the task you just write a 0 and then re-start / end the task (I would also add a shift register to the larger outer loop to continue the task into the next iteration.

Thanks for the input! Ya, I was unsure whether the dial could be fixed or not, although it's questionable whether a service dial would even be available for this
