Press and Hold Down Button Using LabVIEW

[Poolean]

Overview
This VI demonstrates how it is possible to force a user to press and hold a button in order for a specific action to occur.

Description
The accuracy of the button hold time is controlled by the event structure timeout value. The smaller this value is the quicker the loop will iterate. Therefore, it will be able to detect a change in the button's value in less time. However, because the loop is running more quickly, it will consume more resources on your machine.
Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012(or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open the VI
2. Set time of “Seconds to Hold” and “Event Structure Timeout”.
3. Click Run and press and hold on “Hold to Stop VI” button to stop program.
