LabVIEW + TestStand + Emergency button

Pretty soon I'm going to work on a project that will involve running TestStand sequences and handling an emergency button + program to manage this setup.

The idea is fairly simple: I have to prepare a separate program (preferably in LabView as I got the most experience with it) that will run some sequences created in TestStand. Which is already covered by LabView OI delivered with TestStand.

The tricky part is: I cannot (at least I don't want to) modify already created sequence files and integrate a new emergency button for test station for every test sequence run. Hence when the sequence will run, I have to, for example: terminate the sequence when someone presses emergency button, without manual modifications to the sequence file. Hence the handling of the EB should be done in LabView, while it is running the TestStand engine.

Anyone ever came across something similar? Some tips on how to handle stopping sequence when someone will press the EB?

Why don't those bots copy the answers back so the Reddit user might get some actual answers ...
