Ok, my understanding then is that you want to hit a "Start" button on your VI that will then allow the rest of the VI to execute:




Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. There are a couple of other scenarios I can think of.

Yes..That's it.somethin' like that...Thank U very much Bill...

I know this is a real old post but if I have a manual push button (hardware), how can I ensure the program runs without hitting the run button? Is it possible to so somthing like that?

Hi smm,

in the vi properties you can set the vi to start automatically when loaded/opened!

Ok the thing is... My vi is for testing thermostats. I will be testing 6 at a time. Once those 6 are tested, 6 new ones will be placed. So in that case once the VI is opened it won't be closed again. This is going to be handled by an operator and we don't expect them to know how to use the run button or to close and open VIs. So is there any other way?

[GerdW]

Hi smm,

do as shown above:
make a big button labeled "Start measurement" - your operator should know how to handle that

[smm]

Yeah. But the deal is the hardware has a push button already. So thatts the problem.

But considering what you said, I tried it, but it didn't run the program.

[smm]

Ok it did do what is expected. But can you tell me, if I can conjoin the actual push button (hardware) with the code?. I incorporated what is shown in the figure. Now can it do, this thing when a button is actually pushed?

[GerdW]

Hi smm,

how did you connect the (hardware) button to the computer? How did you check it's status with LabView?

[smm]

Actually I don't have the hardware yet. It's in production. I'm using a PCI 6515 DAQ. So i was thinking of reading an impulse or something.
