how to add a pop up (prompt) to this VI?

[jjlee]

The goal is to show a pop up for a user to select a config file when the top level VI gets started...(once "Run" arrow is pushed)...

How can I do this?

Basically, starting the "Load" case when the program starts....should I changer the order of case structure?

Should I add 'prompt user for input' (from Time & Dialog menu) before 'create queue.vi' (??)

Why not just make "load" the first item you enter into the queue?  As it stands, you're adding "Initialize", but there is no "Initialize" case in your case structure, so you're just running the default case.  I would change "Initialize" to "load" as the first queue element, and that should take care of it.

Thanks for your help!

May I ask you one more question?

I am having a problem setting duty cycle value with EXT trig....(it works fine with INT trig, 0-100%) I cannot understand why Dcycle value fails for values higher than 34%....(not like INT trig case)

Could you take a look at 'hp8133A application function_mod2.vi' in 'setting' case?

Sorry JJ, I have no experience with this hardware, so I can't help with that problem.  Maybe you should post a new question to the forums specifically related to the problem you're having with the instrument (mentioning the instrument type in the title) to see if someone more insturment-savvy can offer assistance.

Good luck,
