SMTP email sending and executable

[Kabanga]

Hi all !

I have some problems related to my executable I talked about in another message. I decided to create another thread to that question. Hope I'm doing it right !

As I told you my code is working perfectly. But I got some problems when I created an executable. You guys helped me solve them but now I got another problem:
I'm using SMTP to send a message notification after a certain condition is met (please see the attached VI).   The "normal " code is working well but the executable, not!

When I run the executable it's continually sending emails. It should normally send just one time! Can somebody tell me  what's going wrong with my executable?

Best regards
Kabanga

Hi Kabanga,

i see no problem with it, but why don´t you use a "wait until next ms multiple"? What do you want to do? You could also use an event structure to count your clicks.

I don't know why it work in edit mode, but not in exe.

If you place your bottom Switch-Case into the upper (in case TRUE), than it should send only once. I think.

Hi Kabanga,

here is an example with the event structure, so you don´t need the "wait until next ms multiple".

Hi Mike,

thanks for your help.
I just put the "OK" button for explanation purpuse. In fact the "ok" is done programatically each time I receive a defined byte from the serial port (please see the attached VI).
You helped me solve the problem related to byte reception and case-structure "driving"  last week. I'm very sorry not having mentioned it to you know.
Is it possible in that case to use the event-structure?

Best regards

Hi Kabanga,

yes it is possible in this way. Is your serial receive function inside the while loop? When do you want to send the email? Why don´t you connect the reset for the counter?

Hi Kabanga,

now i see the problem. If the number is 12 it change first after you receive your signal again, so the mail will sent until the next event occurs. So one solution could be to reset your counter after sending the mail, or to increase it.

Hi Mike,

after modifications my executable is still sending many emails as soon as it begins to run!
The edit mode is working very well. I cannot figure out what is going wrong.

Hi Kabanga,

did you add the "wait until next ms multiple" or some other things to slow down you loop?
