Is it possible to handle multiple events for the same front panel?

[MedicoMich]

Hi,

I am using a front panel for more than one sensor, say here, 4 sensors. But i need to start each sensor only on a click of a start button placed over it (sensor) module which is separated by a vertical and horizontal splitter on the front panel. But when I use a event case I find that only first event is activated and until it is finished the system is on wait. Is it possible to have more than one event case - in my program i need 4 events to be handled simultaneously. 

I attached a very simple piece of code for your reference. Let me know if i need to add any other conditions on here?

Thanks in advance!

• The case structures in the event cases seem overelaborate...
• Please include an event case for the stop button.
• You can define several different event sources for a single event case (hit the blue '+' symbol when configuring the event sources)
• You should learn about Producer/Consumer design pattern for parallel execution
• ...

Regarding Norbert's last point:

1. Start LabVIEW.
2. On the File Menu, choose "New ..." (the dots are important!).
3. From the Drop Down, choose "From Template", "Frameworks", "Design Patterns", "Producer/Consumer Design Patterns (Events)".
4. Study the resulting VI.  Play around with it.  If there are functions you don't understand (and if the comments aren't helpful), right-click the function, choose Help, and read the Detailed Help.
5. See if you can adopt this VI/Design Pattern to your code/problem.  We'll be glad to help you if you get stuck, or don't understand something.  Be sure to post your code and tell us where you are having difficulties.

Thank you both of you... I very well knew that I need to learn more....but was unclear of the point to start with...

ok let me first get into producer/consumer architecture....If i need help mid-way I hope you are there!!!

Thanks a lot 🙂
