sequencing buttons to start task

[sherzaad]

Hi,

I am trying to create a 2 push button start sequence for a task but I'm not too sure what the best way to do it. I was thinking of using "event handler structure" but not sure how to got further.

The sequence I want to do is the following:

1. start

2. press 'OK1' button -> start a timeout timer

3. if 'OK2' pressed before timeout -> execute remaining task

    else  go back to 'start'

any guidance on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

Hi sherzaad,

you could use an event structure with event cases for your 2 buttons and a timeout event.

The first button will set the timeout for the timeout event: now one of two events will occur (button2 or timeout) and you can decide what to do in each of the events…
