how can i run case structure programitically

[sandy1]

hi,

i am working on a vi , which has stages from 0...5. i am trying run the program, so that it executes case 0...5 one after other. and if i want to stop the program in the middle of the process, how i can connect the "stop" button to all cases, so that they all stops at the same time.

Could you pls help me ..

use a state machine there are tons of examples on this forum.

here is an example:

make sure you put a delay in the while loop:)

Hi Sandy,

Use a boolean shift register in which the stop button state can be updated and the same can be used as the case selector to select whether to run or not to run the forthcoming cases. So that the program will come out of the cases immediately without any delay and stop thence.

If all five states always execute in sequence, you could also do something similar to the following. (assuming you have a newer LV version that alllows for the conditional terminal in FOR loops)

Use shift registers to hand data from one state to the next if needed.
