Hi Aparna,

I was not quite clear of what you were after but i have generated a small VI for a solution I think you are after. Hope it helps.

Aparma,

I use state machines which have a Paused or Idle state. The Pause button is has Boolean text = "Pause" in the False state and "Resume" (or Continue) in the True state. Other User Interface methods include Radio Buttons: Idle, Start/Run, Pause, Resume, Stop or an enum with similar items. The state machine architecture gives you great flexibility in how you handle the user inputs.
