Stopping multiple loops

[Jason]

If I have two while loops and I want the same button to stop them
both, how do I do it? I know I can't put the button in one loop and a
local variable to it in the other, I also can't put the button outside
both loops. I'm using LabVIEW 7.

Thanks,
Jason

You say you can't? Why not? Please explain.
When you click on the button, the other loop will read the
change and then stop the loop. I don't understand your
hesitation.

Thank You

Right click on the Stop boolean control, change the "mechanical action" to "switch when pressed", then you'll be able to use its local variables to stop other loops.

Or you can use occurrence or even notifier (under advanced, synchronization in the function palette) to do it. Examples can be found in the NI Example Finder in LabVIEW.

Use Local Variables for the button you want to use and place them in
the loops you want them to affect and tie them to those loops. That
would be an easy way to do it.
