Event Case

[Guber]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a scenario that when a photoelectric sensor is trip it triggers an event to turn something (say a light stack) on. Then it waits for a different sensor to turn it off. But I would also like this to be able to repeat in reverse. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi Guber,

Which sensor and other hardware will you be using? The first step is to find an instrument driver to interface with LabVIEW and your hardware. You can find a list of them here.

I'm using a USB 6501 with Allen Bradley Photoelectric. I'm unsure about where to start in terms of the loops. Thanks, Amanda!

Hi Guber,

I have a few suggestions to get you started. Let's try using an event structure to implement this. You could have a Boolean indicator whose value can be wired into an event structure that determines the behavior of the code inside. Could you post the code that you are working on so far so that we can help?

Have a great day!
