Front Panel Control that Starts and Stops a VI Using LabVIEW

[Hassan_Atassi]

Overview
Since LabVIEW doesn't have a programmable start button, this example VI uses a method to create that effect.

Description
It uses two states, an "Active" and "Idle" state.  The VI is set to run when opened, and hence is in the "Idle" state when started.  When the Start button on the front panel is pressed the VI changes to its "Active" state.   Pressing the Stop button will return it to the "Idle" state.  

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. VI will be running when opened.
2. Press the start button to put the VI in an "Active" state and cause the boolean to blink
3. Press the stop button to put the VI back into the "Idle" state and stop the blinking.
