conditional terminal not wired

[voiceburg]

I tried to recreat a example I sa in a labview book. It clearly indicated keeping the conditional terminal unwired to have the loop run one time only. I get an error and can't run. Is it possible to run with the conditional terminal unwired?

you used to be able to do that up to about lv6 (i think) if you just want it to run once you can wire a constant to the conditional of the while loop

Not since LabVIEW 6. That was when that the option was added to make the conditional terminal stop if true or continue if true. You know have to wire a constant to the termianl in order to force it to run one time only. If you're using a book written for LabVIEW 5.x or earlier and have a much more recent version of LabVIEW, there's going to be a lot of things in the book that are obsolete and it won't cover a lot of new features.
