But I hate laser fires without control: when I set "others", it will fire once. I donot like that

Hi wbcat,

i don´t understand it. Do you mean because the loop runs ones? Where do you want to fire the event. Only the selected event runs.

If you fire the laser inside the correct event, it will not fire if other events are triggered.

 altenbach ,

I can put the code for one single fire inside a event, it will not be triggered.  the problem is, you want it fire continuously, that is why I need the while loop. otherwise, you can not check how good it is working. I can use a for loop, but it is not that convenient

Then, I don't uderstand what the problem is if the laser should fire continuously anyway. 😉

What if you put the laser in the timeout case?

altenbach,

I am a moron

by the way, why you donot like the solution, uncheck 'the front panel lock' of the event case

Because what good is an event structure if it cannot react to events at all time, e.g. during the time the code is running the inner loop?

There is a danger that you accumulate an infinite number of events in the event queue. Imagine you have an event for a certain button press, but the code is running the inner while loop. Every time you press that button, it will get queued up, because the event structure is not ready for it yet.

altenbach,

I see..

Thanks a lot
