one boolian button skips more while-loops

[Baldrim]

Hi everyone!

I want one single Boolian Button to skip more than one while-loop in different seqences of a Seqence Structure.

I already tried local variables, but it doesn't work.

Have you any idea??

thanks for your help!

Hello Clemens,

you better attach an example vi to describe your problem!

But:
If you use local variables of that boolean button you have use a "mechanical" switch-mode instead of latch. Then you have to emulate this latching on your own by setting the boolean back to your default value.
Or you use it as enable/disable feature, once the button is pressed it only allows all remaining while loops to iterate only once...

I like using shift registers to pass booleans amouug nested threads it is much more reliable than buttons and locals who's state is less deterministic and managable.

I am really not sure if this is right, but here is an example VI that shows how to select between using one set of code and another.  Is this what you are looking for?  I changed the mechanical action of the Skip Ahead button.  Right-click and select mechanical action from the menu to change the mechanical action.

We could use a little more information if it is not.

Thanks,
