Hello All The attached vi is quite simple. It is an event structure inside a for loop, with some other code (current time compared to fixed time value). When the vi starts, the first iteration of the while loop happens (as evidenced by the time update in the time string indicator). Successive loop iterations, I assume occur, but it seems that whatever happens inside the event structure function stops the extra code in the while loop from performing (as evidenced by the indicator not updating in the time string indicator) I'm not arguing that this is incorrect operation but would like somebody to give me a simple explanation as to what happens. I looked at the help, but it doesn't necessarily deal with this (that I can work out anyway) What I intend to have happen is an event case to perfrom when a time value is reached (say shutdown the computer at 6:30 PM (my fixed string value)), and I wasn't aware of the above behaviour until I tried a few examples. Any insights to what actually happens? Regards Ray

Hi All,

Just a note that I only have LabVIEW 8.6 and cannot view your attached updates.
