Stop button sets everything to default

[evdo]

Hi everybody,

I have a vi with too many switches (ON/OFF) and I would like for them to be set to the default value (OFF in my case) each time the vi stops by pressing the STOP button.

I tried to use local variables in a case structure after the stop button but I have only one while loop running and it seems that the vi does not have any time to write to the local variables before it stops running. Although the local variable or property node solution would require too many of the variables to be in this case structure.

Is there a way to reinitilize everything to default when the vi stops running?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, with an "invoke node", see this recent thread.

In your case, you would placen it inside the stop event, or outside the main loop. Ensure that it executes as last step, (either with data dependency or a sequence frame or similar).

If you use events, you can make it even happen if the user closes the VI by clicking on the big X.

Hi!
You problem can be easily solved in reverse way.
Take a sequence outside the while loop. Sequence should appear before while.
Then 1. take property node of all the ON/OFF controls/ indicators, create method reinitialize all to default. OR
2. Give False constant to all property nodes of all indi/controllers.

This will reinitialize all to default conditions.
