stop button reference

[candidate]

Hi, I have a VI with several case-structures and while-loops and nested while loops ... and ONE stop-button. i want to stop the loops with this button. how do i do that?
i know that i could do it somehow with a lokal variable and references to it, that are connectet with the stop-terminals. i attached a small screenshot where you can see how i tried it, its not working ("Wert" = "value").

Your problem is due to the mechanical action of your stop button (right clic on the button) which is not the good one.
Change it to "switch" (first row) instead of "latch".

Hello Johannes,

you are using a Global "stopp" button. So just use this
global in every instance (copy and paste!). Or you can create a Stop-button control at the front panel and use it with some local variables (context->create->local).

See example pic: control is in the upper left corner, several locals all over...
Best regards
Gerd

It looks like you have the error out wired to the conditional terminal instead of the value. I will attach a VI that shows the way to stop different loops with property nodes and local variables.
