switch by push to switch till release

[FloMAN]

Hallo.

Ich have programmed a calibration of a ECU in LV8. To start the calibration i have implemented a switch. When i push the switch, the calibration starts. But after the calibration ist completed, the switchbutton is still in pushed state. It is necessary, that the button wouold be in unpushed state after the calibration is completed because i have to make new inputs before calibrating second time! When i change the manner of the button/switch into "switch as long as mouse click" i get a error when i load the Applikation to my real-time-system (VIs with boolean elements, can´t get loaded up). Is there another alternative to reset the switch after completing my calibration??

Thank you

You could set the switch to "switch when pressed", the reset it programmatically via a local variable at the desired moment..

Or you set the mechanical action to "latch when released", then the button remains pushed until you read the terminal in the block diagram. The disadvantage is, that you are not allowed to make a local variable of this button.
