how to stop while loop when a specified function is terminated?

[tonnybk]

I want to make a program which has 2 thread, one of which is to control some devices, and the other is to measure outputs of the devices.

To do that, I should make a 2 independent loops, but there comes a problem here.

I want to terminate 2 loops at the same time, but it's difficult for me to do that, because when I try to notify upper sequence's termination to lower loop by some value change, they have some dependency.

That's why I need your help. I want to know how to stop lower loop when the upper sequence's termination keeping their independency.

Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi tonny,

you could use

- a local variable of a boolean flag. Set the flag in the upper sequence and read the local in your event loop...

- a value change-event of a boolean control (with a "value (signalling)"-property node)...

- a user-defined event (of a boolean control)...

- many more possibilities...

Is the upper loop commanding the lower loop at all?  I would think you would have some type of communication between the loops.  Just use that communication to send a stop command.  Or the next best way is to just simply use a notifier.
