trigger event from different loop

[LVCoder]

Dear all,

I am working on an application using Producer/Consumer architecture.

In the producer loop i collect data from my H/W, and in the Consumer loop i process it. 

the producer loop has event structure also which can be triggered using buttons on the front panel. 

  Now, there is a Record Button on the front panel which will start saving the incoming data to the file. and the Event Structure taking care of Record is in Producer loop.

Now how can i trigger the Record Event in the Producer loop from the Consumer loop ??

Thanks,

Ritesh

When you want to include events that don’t occur on the front panel, you will need to register a dynamic event. Using dynamic events will allow your Event Structure to react to code happening anywhere on your block diagram. Have a look at:

Or, you could simply write to the Value (signaling) property for the button (assuming that's the event that you're handling for a user pressing the button).

Yeah Value(Signalling) Property does the job quiet well.

Thanks
