play a wav file once

[oliverrudling]

how do I play a wav file just once using the play sound file.vi. i keep getting it to repeat over and over

thanks

[SteveChandler]

Can you post your vi?

[oliverrudling]

here is my vi

[SteveChandler]

I tried it and it played a wav only once. Can you try a different file or does it repeat for every file?

[oliverrudling]

i can get it to run once using the run button but i am creating a GUI and it has to be ran continuously so need to find a way to stop it once it has played once thanks

First may I recommend some reading here. This is not meant to be cocky just to help you.

Second I have included sort of template. Notice the wire that ends in the while loop. This will ensure that the wav is played before the loop starts.

Good luck with your Labview labwork

Got it. You have the play vi inside of a loop right? So the question could be "How can I do anything once" and is not specific to playing a wav file.

The answer depends but it will generally mean you put whatever you want to execute once in a case structure.

that good feedback, you learn here too, it is very true that the WAV format is important that I leave a example can provide
