How can I start a timed loop with a front panel button?

There are many possibilities. You could for example place it inside an event structure triggered by your button.

You could poll the button with a while loop, then when the button is pressed enter a case structure.  The false state could contain a false constant, wired to the stop condition of the while loop, and in the true case could contain the timed loop and a true constant.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I found that all I have to do is wire the true case of a pushbutton to the timed loop. It works like a charm!
