Stop a While Loop Before My Wait Time Elapses in LabVIEW

[Darawish]

Hi guys,

I have a While loop with a long Wait (ms) time function. My Stop button takes too long to stop my loop. How can I program my Stop button to end a while loop immediately? I appreciate  your efforts in answering my question.

Kindly check my Project as a snippet.

You need to divide your long waiting time into many small waiting intervals. Then in an additional while loop, wait either until your stop button is pressed or until all waiting intervals have been completed.

Jens

Here's one idea that comes to my mind:

A more scalable solution would be a better state machine where you would also add a wait state.

(Also make sure to use correct representations. DBL is incorrect for a wait)
