is it possible to control looping

[malavi]

I have a long program with many loops and structures. I want certain codes(which are now inside while+structure) to be executed just once as it is used to decide the device initialisation. And once if its initialised no need to repeat these codes. But the whole program to be repeated until a stop using a while loop.

can you post your program here

The best way is to use a 'State machine' framework.

Refer to NI help & website. Many example of State machine exist

The program is too long.

The first stack deals with the filter.

The second stack deals with the camera. The camera initialisation part is in stack0- stack 1 to 10. In this part the camera initialisation, set shutter speed,get pixels etc need be executed only once.

use a state machine architecture for developing complex applications like this. it will make the program readable and scalable

Try to adapt your code to this kind of framework (State Machine): easy to maintain.

Note : The Enum must be a Strict Type def to make easier the maintenance

for the time being, wire a true constant to the while loop which needs to be executed only once
