How do I stop an infinite loop because of a poorly placed user prompt during development without closing LabView?

[Broken_Arrow]

You are right Chuck, the modal popup is a bear and a lesson learned.

I tried Abort.VI and with a user prompt, it didn't work for me. But CNTRL +  .   does work.

It doesn't for modal dialogs. However, the rest of that thread discusses this issue and presents suggested solutions.

Cntl+. will work if you are fast enough and hit the key combination right after clicking on the OK button. It may take a few tries, but it will eventually work.

I have one, too.

Attached.

or you could prevent it from going modal before you start!

Or, you could get a faster computer.  I once had a computer that was SO FAST it could complete an infinite loop in under five seconds!

OK, I may be a mere Mech eng here, but we deal with real world problems and leave the physicits to deal with the theory. How can you have an "INFINITE Loop" that gets completed??? that's not an infinite loop!!! It must have some value basis where it finishes.

Bad programming causes infinte loops to finish in 5 seconds!! You forgot to make to loop continue for all values Jim!!

Nope!   You forgot to consider that the computer might have had multi-dimensional processors (or, that I might have been being silly).

As for your comment that "Bad programming causes infinte loops to finish in 5 seconds!!"  I resemble that remark.

If you were running vista, you'd be lucky to run an infinite loop for 5 seconds... 😉

You "resemble" or "resent"? certainly resemble looks right, the smiley looks like a bad program might!!
