timed loop executes before "period"

hi
I am using Timed loop in labview 8.0 , winxp
inside timed loop my application is to read a gpib port and write into file .Read , write , write to meas file is OK but each read write is not exactly 400 ms .but +- 40 , 60 . So i need to execute the timed loop in fixed time period =500ms.
but the time col is not consistant. because of inconsistant timed while loop.
I set the period of the loop "500"ms and periority 5000 or 500.
i dont know why this is happening in dedicated timed loop.

yes off course i am now using low level file i/o but the behaviour is same , my code takes nearly 400 ms +-30ms but <500ms .
and loop settins are dt=500ms which is enough for code to comlete in time.
so i need to write after exactly 500ms passes then what should we do. or on the other hand i need a deterministic time col write.
 

objective is to write a file at fixed sample time ,
first frame varies the  400ms   +-30ms
but i am writing file at 500ms period , 
so my file should save at fixed 500ms difference

Hi Haider,
 
Are you running your LabVIEW code on a controller with the Real-Time OS or on Windows? If you are running on Windows XP, you will not achieve complete determinism, since the Windows scheduler will not be fully controlled by LabVIEW, but also by other programs running on your PC. More information about this is detailed <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A630A5192FC4B13486257209005BA0DB?OpenDocument" target="_blank">here</a>. Just for the reference of other visitors to the forum, <a href="http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/lvconcepts/configuring_the_labview_timed_loop/" target="_blank">here</a> is a document about configuring Timed Loops.

So the luxury option&nbsp;and use of 1kHz clock is useless in labview , that is not consistant even for &lt;=2Hz.
