how do I associate terminate button to boolean variable

Greetings All,

 

     I am still very NEW to the TestStand 2010 environment.  I wrote a VI that is basically a loop for advancing a power supplies output voltage.  At any given time I can press the Stop button that I created that will stop the VI.  I'm using this VI in my TestStand program and I'm wondering if there is a way in TestStand to asscociate the Terminate/Terminate All button(s) to a Boolean variable that I can insert into the Step Settings for this particular VI that inturn will enable me to successfully terminate the sequence without terminating the environment.  Basically when I press the Terminate/Terminate All buttons I want the Stop button in the VI to depress as well.  I'm hoping that this is do able.  Thank you all in advance for any helpful hint you may have that will make my program a little more successful.

 

Regards,

 

Scott

Scott,

 

Look in Chapter 6 of the Using LabVIEW with TestStand document.  Specifically under the heading Checking for Stopped Executions.

 

That document can be found by going to Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>TestStand>>Documentation>>Manuals.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi Ray,

 

     Thanks for the reply and sorry it took a couple of days.

 

     After reading that chapter and getting an understanding of how it works I'm glad to tell you that it did the trick.  It does exactly what I need it to do.  Thank you for your help with my question.

 

Regards,

 

Scott
