Data Access ouside of loops

[student_ERC/RMS]

I basically have a counter that is inside a while loop. I want the counter to perform 2 functions in my program.

First, when the count reaches a predetermined value, a sub vi must be triggered.
Second, when the count reaches another value, the execution of the sub vi must be terminated.

It is important that the counter run continously (it is an encoder value for posistion). How do I access the value of the counter from outside the while loop, while the loop is still running?

Thanks,

Jordan

Assuming that the counter value is updating an indicator in the while loop, you can access the value of the counter in another loop
either by
creating a local variable (make it read)
or
creating a property node..>> value
or
by reference (most likely if it is in another vi)

Use a queue or a notifier if you need the actual counter value. If you just need to know *when* your counter hits those two values, use an occurrence (see attachment).
