input triggered event

Hi,

Could someone tell me if this is possible with LabVIEW 7.0 or 7.1: I want to use an analog input line to trigger an event in my vi. For example: I already have a vi that sets the current to an oven, and another one that can read the pressure inside the oven. I want to be able to switch the oven off when I get to a certain overpressure. I know the event structure can process "user interface" events. Can it do external interrupts as well ? Or am I barking at the wrong tree and should consider LabCVI instead?

If you have a separate while loop that is constantly reading the pressure, do a comparison of the measured value and in a case statement you can programatically fire an event by writing to the value (signaling) property of a fron panel control. The code in the Value Change event for that control would then execute.
