Really having problems conditioning while loop with a front pannel occurance

[Ashley.w]

Hi

I was hoping somebody may be able to help me with a problem I am having running my vi so it acts on front panel occurrences.

The vi in question "test platform v" is in the vi library I attach with this message.

Basically I would like the vi to run continuously and each time I change the front panel values (which set the hardware) the updating loop stops the hardware is reset and the updating loop then continues.

I guess I need to use occurrences so that the updating loop recognizes when the front panel values have changed so the new data can be written to the hardware.

I am having trouble working out how to do this.  I guess so event based code would be best - I ama having trouble implementing this.

I have simplified the code a lot to make the process of what I am trying to do easier to understand.

Hope somebody can help.

Many Thanks

You need a few more tricks.  The answers you seek are in a very simple solution in the attached VI.

You need to understand events and using property nodes with Signal (Very Important)
