User writes a value, logic processes it and erases the value

[TeamHalli]

This is a no brainer, but here is what I am trying to do:

when the user enters a comment in the comment string and presses Enter, I want to log that comment in an excel spreadsheet and erase it (empty string) after that line.

I am struggling with the part about entering the comment and erasing it. If the user presses enter while the execution is inside the case structure, the comment gets erased.

Any idea on how I can resolve this?

Perhaps you should use an Event Structure to detect when the comment was updated.  You can then erase the comment when the value has already been changed and sent to the Excel file.

Crossrulz,

Regarding you statement, "You can then erase the comment when the value has already been changed and sent to the Excel file."

Is that done inside the case structure the same way I have it now?

Thanks,

No.  I'm thinking something like this

Hi Crossrulz,

What you sent works fine, but I noticed that the sampling rate was affected. I was using the wait until function (and I added it to your logic) to control how often to log the data to Excel. Now that sampling rate is no longer respected. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hey TeamHalli,

Two questions:

1.  When you say that the sampling rate is no longer respected, what is the behavior that you are seeing with the Wait Until Next function added?  

2.  Does that behavior change when you remove the Wait Until Next function?

Hi Rahmirez,

The problem is solved.
