stop event structure when using a global variable

[vicens]

Thanks for answer,

I've tried to create an event case in the event structure that runs each event return for a global variable, but it never succeeded. In the end I think I will use the example of Matthew.

Only me a question arises: What is the difference between to use event with a timeout and while loop with wait?

Hi vicens,

the event structure will react faster to the stop button, the while loop will wait for 1000ms...
When you process other events you can easily put the button in the timeout event.

Not the way he has it written.  He only looks a the stop button in a Timeout event.  The only difference is that the event loop will look at the stop button at the end of the 1 sec wait, where the while loop will look at the stop button at the start of the 1 sec wait.

He would need to create an event for the stop button value change for the loop to fall out as soon as the button is pressed.

You wouldn't use the global variable in that case.  You would create user events which you register in the lower subVIs.  Then the main VI would trigger the subVIs' events.  It is a more complicated way to do what you want to do.
