Fire an Event Structure Using Data in a File

[GoCougs]

Overview

This VI demonstrates the way of triggering a event structure using data in a file.

Description

An event structure can be very helpful when needing to "watch" for a user input and react to that input.  In some applications, you may want that event structure in place, but also the functionallity of inputing data from a file.  This simple VI demonstrates how this is possible.  This also can be used with Simulation Interface Toolkit to fire the events needed from a file.  The trick is to use a property node of the control and write to the Val(Sgnl)instead of just Value.  The first option fires that event that you need.

Requirements

Software:

• Labview 2012 (or compatible) 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Modify the data in data.txt file
2.Run the VI
