how to stop sub vi while loop

[GokulGKM]

hi,

      i have three while loop.

        1)main vi out side of event structure with timeout

        2)second while 1sec time delay

        3).sub vi 3sec delay

all while stop one globle bool controll button.

when i will stop this main vi it will take some time to stop.bcaz delay in while how sop immediate.pls tell me any other methode.

Use a state machine. Have the state machine keep running with a small execution timing (e.g. 10ms) and keep checking if the 3s has elapsed (to do your process) or if it's time to exit.

Hi Gokul,

try using Queues.

Attached a sample ,on how Queues used to stops parrallel loops.

In ur case u can pass the Q refnum to sub Vi and stop all the loops.Dont forgot to close refum after while loop.

         2).sub vi while LED 3sec

if i will use state machine  both led blink 4sec.

hi,

         led mean two boolean indicator blink...for difference while loop and difference time delay.if i will use state machine totall delay is added.so pls tell me to stop without delay while loop.

Show your latest attempt with using the state machine.

It sounds like you are wiring things up to work in series rather than parallel.
