I want to pause a vi.

[zooming with mouse pointer]

I want to pause a vi.It has a while loop and inside it some subvis that are running.I don't want to pause it from the 'PAUSE' button that is located in the toolbar.

In order to pause a VI without using the 'PAUSE' button, you will have to send your program into a continuous loop and quit the loop when you want your program to resume execution.

I have put together a quick example that demonstrates how to do this. Hope this helps!
