Why does my button act strange?

[sadiek]

Hello all,

I wrote a VI with a case sturcture. if a button gives a true value then go to case "true" state, if it gives a false value then go to case "false" state. 

Now for the properties of the button i used "switch when pressed", so the value of the button should only change when i press the button. But the button switches off automaticaly ... how? and how can i solve it?

See attachment for the VI

Hi sadiek,

But the button switches off automaticaly ... how?

Well, did you debug your VI? You should see how (and when) it switches off…

and how can i solve it?

Remove local variables as much as possible. One of them is responsible for switching the button off!

Hints:

- Replace the sequence by a statemachine. (This way you also don't need all those locals inside!)

- Don't use the same label for several indicators! You wouldn't do this in text-based programming…

I can't open your VI because I cant find RSCOM.dll

Hi Muri,

you can open the VI: all you need to do is to cancel the search dialog!

Thank you, it worked. Altough i have another problem now. But im going to try and fix it myself first 🙂

I wanted to actually run it so I could debug it step by step rather than just looking at it haha.

But thanks for the reply (: I did initially cancel it but thought it would be easier to debug for myself if it was running (:
