can i use an event structure to exit from a while loop?

[I_Pant]

hello everyone
i have no experience at all about event structures and I was wondering if you have a loop that repeats every 10 seconds can you use an event structure to exit from the loop before it is finished?
ie if you press the stop button at the 3rd second  you won't have to wait 7 seconds and then another 10 to exit from the loop?
i attach a trivial vi so if anyone has any ideas please modify this one...
thank you very much

Hello,

Actually it is easier than you think !

Have a look at the VI attached. When you create an event struct, it comes with just a tineout case, if you wire a numeric to the timeout connector, the timeout case will be executed if no other defined event occurs.. I assume this is what you are asking for.

Thanks for the immediae response...

i tried to view the vi you attached but it says that it is in version 7.1.1 and my LV is 7.0!

any way to overcome this?

OOOPS... sory I didn't notice it was in LV 7.0...

that one should be readable for you 😉

WOW... ... nothing less than an apocalypse

Well I'm glad I help you, in the future if you keep using event struct, I would recomand you have a look at the example VIs (Help >> Find Example) ; they are often a good source of inspiration for developpers.
