event

[kollin]

Can someone help me out a little new with LabVIEW. I use an event case to control a tab control in the event case I have Booleans when valve change it change to the page it works but now the stop button has stop working. It all in a while loop. Delete the event and the stop will work.

The event structure will essentially block execution until it receives an event which it can process (I am including a timeout as an event). If you you add an indicator to view the iteration count of the while loop you will see that it will increase by one every time you trigger an event.

hi there,

i attached a little example vi, i hope that helps you.

i would recommend you to go through the tutorials pinned at the top of the labview forum. also a good way is to read the context help (ctrl+h  and hovering over things) and then the extended help.

for many things you find good examples directly in labview (Help -> Find Examples),

for this though i didn't find one, so i made one

regards

<edit> also there are some caveats with the latch/switch settings of buttons,

try to delete and create the stop button, and have a look at the behaviour/error </edit>

The simple answer is to make a Stop button event case and put the terminal for said stop button inside of it.

That doesn't appear to be a standard design pattern. Normally the event structure would be in its own while loop, and then it controls things in the main loop.

Thanks for the help
