what is the most common way to quit application ?

[hookso]

hello labview users !

i have several loops running in parallel. some of the loops are events structure , each includes 100 ms timeout event.

all the stop terminals of the loops are connected to a local variable named Stop_All. is this the way ?

i don't know how else should i terminate the program.

please your kind help !

Hi hookso,

common ways are:

- using a local (or even a global) variable

- using the "quit" function (quick&dirty)

- using a notifier/queue to send a quit command to your statemachine

- using a functional global variable (FGV)

All the loops with event structures don't need any local variable or stop button terminal, a stop event tied to the stop button is sufficient. Place the terminal of the stop button inside the loop without event structure. That should take care of most loops. 😄

What is the purpoise of the timeout events? Are they really needed?
