Case structure and timeout

[Oesen]

Hello everyone. I need a case structure, which is controlled by a boolean button. I need to use my timeout by switching my button to "true", but it fails:

In the false you can wire -1, can you explain why you are trying to do like this and what you want to achieve finally?

Hi P@Anand

My PC is serial port communicated with a scale. The program makes auto measurement every "x" seconds, when i define the timeout to a number "x". But i don't want to use auto measuring sometimes, and will measure by self clicking on the measurement button. So therefore i want at boolean ON/OFF to the timeout value.

But it works now.

Thanks a lot !

You can use an event case to toggle using the timeout control. Check the attached code

In these situations, I must prefer using the Select function.  Makes things a lot easier to read.
