While loop stop /w error in

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

Many times I find myself adding an OR to combine both a Stop button and the error wire. Wouldn't it be nice to have the auto wire be smart enough to know that wiring the Error to the while loop stop could accomodate both inputs.

This would break the dataflow concept in my mind. The stop is a single terminal of type Boolean.

 

Combinational logic of different data types shouldn't be performed inside the terminal.

 

 


Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

How about if LV automatically inserted an or primitive there if you wire both into the stop terminal? LV does something similar today if you wire two DDT wires into the same place, so I'm assuming that's something NI can do relatively easily.

or just right-click & have the ability to insert an OR?

How about if the auto wire was smart enough to put in a "unbundle by name, 'status'" & wire it up appropriately?
