One VI with Two Stop Buttons

[dbaechtel]

I have a single VI that shows two stop buttons on the Front panel. My block diagram is fairly simple with 2 While loops and one For loop. Where did the second stop button come from? Why is the second stop button there? How do I delete the second stop button?

Hi,

when u put two while loop. automatically two stop button will come.

but if u dont want then delete any one and Creat local variable and connected to the second loop.

Error will come. Like mechenical action invalide.

Then you right click on stop botton and select mechenical action as pressed when latch.

i hope this will help you

Not always true. It depends which part of the pallete you select the while loop from. I can't,however, remember the name of the part of the pallete where it automatically puts the stop button. There are also better ways to stop parallel loops like queues or notifiers if you have more than 2. Or, action engines (I always throw this in to save Ben from having to post!)
