How do I exit the while loop with wait function?

[seongmo1476]

Hello I am building a VI that measures temperature using a digital thermometer.

Temperature measurement time can be set to 1 second, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 1 hour.

However, if the interval is longer than 1 minute, the execution of the WHILE loop does not finish and the SAVE does not work.

Is it not possible to cause the WHILE loop to stop when the VI hits START while running?

Thank you!

Can you please attach LabVIEW code, not a picture of the code?  [Think if I sent you a screenshot of a four-page C++ program and asked you for help -- you'd say "Send me the code!"].  Attach the VI so we can see it clearly, see all the Cases, even try to run it.

I have attached VI now.

All VIs are in Korean.

"초" means second, "분" means minutes, and "시간" means hours.

After selecting "1분 마다," press Start, then press Stop immediately.

Then click Save and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Use a State Machine.  One of your states should be "Wait".  Use short waits (like 100ms) inside of that state and repeat the state until you reach your desired time.  And with each iteration of the loop, you can check your stop condition.
