How to make stop button to work again in a while loop

[johntrich1971]

Gu,

Get rid of the local variable for stop2 - just use the terminal. Then, inside your event loop, just use a constant to send the value to exit that loop. Finally, use a latching action on stop2. This will eliminate your need to hit stop2 twice.

Hi  Johntrich1971,

Thank you for your suggestion.

Could you please modify my VI and upload it? I do not fully follow you.

The local variable Stop2 is to stop both upper and lower loops on the right simultaneously. 

Regards,

Gu

Gu,

Yes, I understand that. The event structure will still fire even if the stop2 button is not inside it. You would then just use a True constant where the stop2 button currently is. This will stop both loops.

Attached is my rev showing the suggested change. 

It should be easy to convert this to a state machine also - an MUCH more maintainable.

Hi Johntrich1971,

My LV is 2015, could you please convert your VI to 2015 compatible so that I can open it?

Here it is in 2015. 

I encourage you to try to make the changes to your code yourself so that you can get a better understanding of how these things interact.
