Using multiple While loops. Is it best to wire up all loops to one stop using locals?? or is there a better way??

I generally agree with the example smercurio gave.

Have a "main" while loop that makes a queue to pass to the other loops.

When the user wants to stop the VI, the main loop will control the order in which the rest of the code should stop.

I like using queues or notifiers.

Never Locals..

I might use a ActionEngine if it is used to propagate status or events.

Generally i avoid queues, not sure why lol But i like this answer. Simple and elegant.
