Pickering driver issue

[Beach_Comber]

I am trying to implement a Pickering switch matrix 50-513-021-S in my
Labview 7.1.1 software. The problem I am having is when executing their provided
vi's the vi will not exit cleanly.  THe abort button must be pressed to to get
the vi to stop. Because of this I am unable to include the Pickering vi's into my code.  I
have included their example vi showing their use of the abort or STOP function.

Hi,

I use a Pickering switch matrix. The program i made uses the VI from Pickering. It works fine.

I will tell you Monday morning (In The Netherlands) the type number of the Matrix i use and the VI i use.

Hope you can wait till Monday when i am back at work

I am sorry but I am using a 40-562 a PXI BRiC matrix switch. Using different VI's from Pickering.

Have you checked that the Mechanical Action of the stop button functions correctly?  I have found that the exit condition button for while loops functions the best if Switch when Released (or Pressed) is used. 

If you would like some more information about Mechanical Action of Booleans (Buttons) there is a very good shipping example that demonstrates each case. If you open the NI Example Finder (Help >> Find Examples), then search for "mechanical", which should allow you to select the Mechanical Action of Booleans.vi. Also, here is a link to a KnowledgeBase that will also explains this topic.

Hope this helps!
