programmable reset of front panel boolean

[tavis]

I have a VI that records data for 60 seconds using a mixture of a Time Elapsed express VI and a user controled boolean switch on the front panel. When the user pushes the boolean control, it starts the elapsed timer and will record until 60 seconds have elapsed. I would like to figure out some way to reset the boolean switch to false once 60 seconds is reached. I don't think I want to use a latch, because then it will reset almost immediately.

You can use the elapsed time express VI.  Use your button to reset that function.  Use the output of that function to tell you when you are still within the 60 second window.

Another use for the often maligned local variable:

Hi Tavis,

Sounds like you are using the button in 'Switch when pressed' Mode. Are you using it like this so you can start/reset a recording? If so then you will need to use a dreaded local variable or property node.

The property node in the snippet is actually a local variable for the 'Record/Reset' button. Labview has changed it for some reason

Rgs,
