Re : How to reinitialize a stopped while loop

[Gregory]

I couldn't view Paul's, but I think the pause/resume is probably the best way to go (as the loop can respond to different messages when not running the timeout code). Here is a version using an event structure just for fun.

No need to get so complicated.

(anybody spot the bug in the vi in my earler post?)

Hello paul_cardinale,

A problem appears with your VI. The isn't stop right away, as event structure buffered event, it take several iteration before pausing.

However, it's a good idea.

Hi Jatlauoi,

It depends how you define right away. If you press pause when i=0, that will trigger an event and update i=1, it will then start the next loop and update i=2 but be waiting on the event structure before making another move. The only loop cycle used up by flipping the switch is i=1, so I would say that it stops right away.
