Return to run the program again

[jcraffael]

Hello all!

I'm wondering if it is possible to return to the last step of the program to run it again in labview.

For example, a vi doing computation, if the final result doesn't satisfy a certain standard, I would like that a one button diagram shows out saying "the

program should run again", and when I click the "OK" the program automaticly re-run.

Please let me know how could I realize this. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a state machine.  Possibly with an event structure that looks for a button press.  When you press the button the event is generated and then the state machine goes into the state that does the work you want.  LabVIEW comes with several examples of state machines and there are a few white papers.

Hi Chao,

that sounds even more simple than a StateMachine: all you need is to put a while loop around your VI with a button "Continue" (or "Stop") connected with the loop conditional terminal…

Hi Gerd,

That works! Thank you very much!
