Take a look at this one with an event structure.  It might be easier to follow.  It should be in LV 8.0

Thanks Ben for the explanation. 🙂

I didn't want to "bark up that tree"..  because it is not how you would want a program to operate.  Click this before that.. If it's sunny, click this other button, when it rains, you gatta click twice..  ... you know where I'm headed with that.. 😉

I figured, "let's get it right from the start" instead of spending time on what's wrong and how to make a wrong work..  That would also be wrong 😮

LOL!  🙂

I agree... if you create a rendez-vous point (using french and not the Rendez-Vous available in Synchronization from Labview) to force the completion of all loops BEFORE reading the overall Stop button, then yeah... it'll work..  Make sure you use Latching version of the button..  Although... after the three loops are done, you could press the stop button again..

<Wish I could say it's time for coffee..  oh well herbal tea will do and I'll carry-on with my madness > 😄

"I didn't want to "bark up that tree"..  "

I understand. I just wanted to address the un-answered question about "why".

Hey Randall. Thanks it also works. But I need start and stop buttons for all three loops or cases. Although I have got the idea. Thanks anyway. Cheers...

Hi Halemani,

your are wrong in this point and Ben is right.
If you press the "stop4" button before you stop the last loop, it will work.
See the attached example. However, I prefere the event structure method.

No, Mike it did not work(stop the outer most loop). Although we can stop the outer most loop by giving 'true' in the false case in the case structures. But then only one innner loop can be ON and others have have to wait untill it is stopped and then they  have to be started. So it won't work according to the desingn requirments.

Halemani,

Did you try the Event Structure?  If not, why are you sticking to the three inner loop version?

Did I forget to mention that using an Event Structure will save you lots of headaches?  😉

Turning the switch on and off does start and stop.  What need would you have for two buttons to do the job of one.  But here is one that will work.
