While loop question

[wunna]

I have a question regarding while loop. I don't want the next iteration of the loop to run until there is a change in the "numeric control" of the loop. How should I do it? What kind of delay function should I put in?

[J-M]

With an event structure and a timeout  = -1.

Put a small while loop in that detects when the value has changed.  For good measure, you should also have it detect the stop button.

You could also have an event structure in the loop with infinite timeout.

Thanks guys but I still don't know where to put the sequence structure.

I have a while loop and inside the while loop, there is a sequence structure with 2 phases. My numeric control is in the first phase and that's the only thing in that first phase. Second phase is comparing with a random number.

Where should I put the event structure?

It will be easier if you post your vi.

how do i post a vi?

Could you give a little bit more informations about the purpose of the VI?  I understand that you want to limit the number of trials.  The user have to enter a number (dbl) between  1 and 5 or any number?  This number is compared to a U8 (1..5) and you want to know how many time the guess was correct for X trials?  This is correct?

Yes. The loop should run 10 times. So there will be 10 guesses for X and we want to know how many times the guess is correct.

Evertyhing moves inside the the event "numeric" including the verification of the max number of iteration.
