I have the following Title designed.

A text box with a number and a text box with a icon looking like a heart.

Can I animate the visibility of the text field via script based on a data source?

Made a CSV file with 2 rows. Where can i loop the data source?

Found the settings the lowest value i can add is 1 sec

The visibility should correspond with the heartrate number so thats a no go.

Problem is i need to update this value dynamically based on the value of the heart rate.

Now we are getting more details in what you want to achieve ;-)

While matching the value might be not exact a script is indeed the way to go

have loop in a script turning the displaying on/off (SetTextVisible) with a pause in between with delay based on the data

You mean give you the script ?

in a continuous loop read the heartbeat value from the title (*)
convert it to a numeric value

do a little test to check if between a range and if value has changed (matter of a bit more efficientand cleaner display later)

to make it look like a beat show the text or any other title element to depict the beating by turning its visibility on

Pause for a short bit

Hide the element

Pause for the heartbeat duration minus the previous pause (looks better then twice half the beat duration)

repeat

(*) check the "scripting for dummies" post in this forum
Check the helpfiles for the visibility functions (shortcut list)
