while loop to 10, then break

[antonedwin]

 I want to have a counter that stops if the number is achieved. I tried with a for loop, however when the number was achieved it immediatly jumped to 0 and started doing it all over agan. (it seems there is no break in the for loop). 

How can I make while (i < 10)  i++;    

 that actually stops totally when i = 10 ?

You code actually does what you describe.  It does stop at i = 10. 

Your graph however only displays one point; the last one with a value of 10.

Right-click on the tunnel (blue square on the right of the While Loop) and select "Enable Indexing" and run it again.

You should see something similar to the chart below (I changed the x-axis scale to 10)

i now shows i in the graph, however it does not stop when i reaches 10. It starts all over again. How can I make it stop looping, after it has reached 10?

As Joe already told you, your VI does stop at 10. The only possible way that you are seeing it start over is if you are doing something really silly like using the run continuous button.

In that way it counts to 10. Is there any way the same can be done in run continously mode?

You have to click on the run button, not the run continuous..  And did you enable indexing?

The "run continuously" is a debugging tool and is not meant to run a VI normally. A better name for that button might be "restart VI from the beginning whenever the program finishes". 😄
