The status comes from an unbundle by name function. You plug the the error cluster into the function and it gives you the option to select various items or properties that you want to pass from the error cluster. So you would use the "status" to stop while loop and VI if an error is encountered.
And yes the stop button was created from a control for the stop button.
Using an "Or" function, the VI and while loop will stop if an error is encountered OR the stop button control goes true.

Thank you very very much.

And the "level" icon is the block diagram terminal that is linked to a front panel control that you can modify as the VI runs. BTW, I didn't create any of that except to add the threshold functionality. It's just a shipping example I found with the Example Finder (Help > Find Examples...).
