Simulation loop inside subVI inside a simulation loop

Question

First of all, let me just say, I've got to hand in my work in 24 hours so please any help will be appreciated.
I've got a simulation loop inside a subVI inside a simulation loop. If I give the inner loop enough time to run, i.e make its duration smaller than the time step of the outer simulation loop. Shouldn't everything run smoothly? Or is this just a no-no with labview?
Thank you

Hi VicMackie,
This help file on the properties of the Simulation Loop is likely to help you out.
I believe from you posts that you're wanting the loop to run every second.
Therefore you want to check "Synchronize loop to timing source" and set your 1kHz clock or set a 1kHz <reset> so that it'll reset on every invocation of the loop. From your post, I understand that you've already done this.
As the period is in milliseconds, for a period of a second you'd want to set your period to 1000 milliseconds, which is the default (1000).
I'd recommend leaving the step size at the default for now and just modifying the Timing Parameters tab to confirm whether the loop will execute every second if you set the period to 1000.
