controlling a testing procedure in labview

[mnx]

Thank you guys for your reply.I am attaching the basic architecture which I am currently using for my main test vi.I am writing all my doubts once again for your reference:

• How to implement "pause","resume"& "abort" features in this vi?
• Can I use a better way for event handling e.g.queues,dynamic events or producer -consumer loops etc?
• Presently,if I have to run my test(i.e Run module or Run device) for the 2nd time,I need to stop the vi & rerun it again.Can I eliminate the requirement of stopping it?

Actually,I am new to LV and so dont know how to exactly design it in an efficient way..All suggestions are most welcome.

any suggestion folks??

you know that stop in 2nd loop is connected to RUN so if run is true it will do one loop and stop 🙂 make it constant false 🙂

why not queues? 

btw do you want to run test in loop for example 100 times or till you press stop?

You can find the "normal" producer/consumer architecture in the Template Browser. Open that one by selecting New (not New VI!) in LV.

Start adding the messages/cases you need. The trick you have to implement as a new part is that the consumer feeds itself as such that it becomes a state machine. The producer will act as additional external source for control/modification of the state machine flow.

Using the queue properly will automatically remove the need of all local variables you are currently using.
