Floating Nested Loop?

[David_Grucza]

I have a similar problem. My solution, which I've only partially implemented, is to use an index generator (a mixed base counter in this case). There wouldn't be any loops, only class methods for indexing vectors (private class data) of swept variables. Without explicit For Loops the order of sweeping can be easily changed.

Let me know if this might work for you. I hope to get to this within the next few weeks.

If I understand, you want a program that will perform a function x times, x being specified by the user and the user can select what order the functions happen in. If that is what you want, a state machine would work.

Here is a state machine that will perform 3 functions x, y, and z times, as specified by the user, and in whatever oder the user wants.

I am looking into something where the nested for loop sequence is not fixed but according to the user sequence. say a fixed nested for loop is 1,2,3,4 but if the user want a sequence of 2,3,1,4. How am I going to make the nested loop do that?

Sorry, forgot to add something to my orginal post, just updated it. Check out Example2.vi, lets the user chose what order the functions happen in.

A nested loop means that you have a loop, inside a loop, inside a loop..  The innermost loop runs, then goes outwardly..

What you are looking for is a State Machine where you can select which loop will run next.  All loops are independant, not nested, in order to do that.

I will create an example for you..

Please disregard my previous.

I'll have to give some thought to how I did that.

Scracth number 2 as well. Sorry, I need sleep...

HERE is what I think you want.

Performs 3 different functions, x many times, and whatever order.

Hi,

If the 2 loops running independently, then it means 1 loop will complete before another loop starts. But I am looking for 2 loop nested together where 2 are running at the same time.

Here's my example...

Now I need to catch up with the other posts 😉

What is supposed to be happening in each loop?
