Start Stop and Run button.

[ATO]

hello,

I have one question, I want one button which can be run/start/stop button. I can't compile the program with "Run when open", because I need the user enter a string and a configuration, however after the user enter a configuration, I want that a START button, and when the user want press the same button to STOP all the program. All without pressing the "Run button (white arrow)". So the sequence it will be:

1- open the ".exe"

2- configure the variables such as: file name, file path, comments.....

3- press START button, and the system will start acquisition.

4- press STOP button and the program stopped and save all the data in a file.

It is that possible? Could anyone help me with it? Or send me and example?

Best regards,

Anna.

Hi,

You can do something like this.

Compile it with "Run when open".

One more thing, make sure you read your configuration variables inside the true case of the case structure.

I would recommend you to go for a proper design pattern. You may be interested in Event driven Producer consumer pattern given in this example . Kudos to mbryner
