Hi everybody,

I posted already once but my post has disappeared.

I am new in programming with labview.
I am doing an intern ship in a company and I would like to Improve an existing software.
The purpose of the software is to a syringe pump manages to fill a nozzle (connected to
an atomizer) and After spraying has pricise Amount on flies.
So, first, the software Was Divided in to share. I made folders to put in one.
-> Until this, it works

Now I would like to make a program executive for purpose That I-have to, first, find a solution
to control the syringe pump. I explain my self: When I am running the software, the syringe
pump start to run by himself and the User has not the time to enter some values. For safe, I tried
put a button to start the problem Is That goal block the software Spraying Because it s use as a
SubVI. So My idea: I would like to bring-up has windows, Where the user can enter all His gains
push a button and OK to run the software.

If someone HAS an idea Will it really help me !!

Have a good day

Sounds like you are just looking for a simple dialog box with some fields for the user to enter the required parameters. There are lots of examples if you look around, but here is a quick simple one. The three values enterd are bundled into a cluster for convenience, and it includes a 'cancelled' output in case the user changes his mind.

The easy way is to use the "Prompt User for Input" express vi from the Dialog & User Interface palette.
