how do I break a for loop (inside) and a while loop (outside) at the same time by a control button

[qing_shan61]

I have a while loop (outside) and a for loop (inside) and a control button within the for loop.  I want to stop the program by click the botton without finishing the for loop.  How can I do that?

Thank you in advance.

I have found the answer, probably one answer.  This works, see attachment.  The iner loop will run from 0 to 9 continously.  The whole program will stop immidiately after the 'Stop' button is clicked regardless what 'index' is.

Hi SanRac,

Thank you for the help.  I use LabVIEW8.2, the break is not available to for loop.

Thank you all the same.

i didnt see any for loop inside the while loop... any how it is possible to brake (stop) a "for loop" also.. Right click on the "for loop" and select the option "conditional Terminal" and wire a approriarte value to the  "loop condition" terminal

Here's a method that allows you to break (nearly) immediately upon hitting the Stop button.  No need to wait for the timer to complete.
