Before the selector value reach a Case structure I need to stop it until a push button is pressed. How to do?

I'd look into event structures if I were you.  Then you can put your case structure in the event case of the push button, and drop the selector control in the same event case.

Hello,

simply wire your selector value through a while loop. Stop the loop with your button. After the loop stops, the value will go on to the case structure.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jbn,

plaese give more details. Do "pause" your program you can use a while loop where you check the value of a button or you can use an event structure where you define an event for a button or another control.

Hope it helps.

Make sure to include a Wait (ms) or else you'll burn all your CPU cycles waiting for a button press

Hello altenbach,

roflol .

Thank you for the link to 'A Field Guide To LabVIEW Objects - Selfish Loop'. I'll keep that in mind, when answering other questions with while loops.
