[TRNSYS-users] pausing trnsys after each timestep

Michel,
   I don't know if running your simulation (including labview) from within 
the TRNSYS environment would be an option - TRNSYS will not continue on to 
the next timestep unless all of the components in the simulation have 
converged. You could write a wrapper Type that calls Labview and doesn't 
converge until Labview is ready to allow it. This is the method used for 
communicating between TRNSYS and EES using Type66 - Type66 essentially 
handles the communication between TRNSYS and EES, pausing the TRNSYS 
simulation indefinitely while it calls EES and waits for EES's results to 
come back.
Kind regards,
  David
