Why use a wait timer when you can "wait for front panel activity"?

[Adam P.]

Why does everyone:

1) Wire a stop button to the while loop conditional terminal and add a wait for 100 ms (or so) timer to the loop.

When they could:

2) Wire the stop button to the while loop conditional terminal AND to "Wait for front panel activity" VI as described in the VI's help file?

Thanks!

That's just a matter of habit. In previous LV versions, the wait for front panel activity was not available.

And of course, now you can use the Event structure, that offers better possibilities...
