latch until realased-switch

Thanks for the positive answer with detailed explanation.

I appreciated that.

Also, I have never used LV with external hardware, so didn't know that Event Structures don't respond to external switches, by default.

You're welcome.

Event structures as is only deal with front panel items.  If you add an event case, you'll see there are only events for the application, the VI, the pane, and controls on the front panel.  You can extend the capabilities by registering for user events.  If you go under the DAQmx palettes and the Advance palette, you'll see there are some palettes for DAQmx Events.  It looks like Change Detection Event is one of them you can register for.

I don't have any details on it because I've never done it before.

Oh yea, that's true. 🙂

Will explore that when I have more freedom for that.

Thanks again for the tips.
