Changing Property's from within a While Loop

Hi altenbach

I did not mean to imply that I got the template from the video, but mearly the first vi (from scratch) that I started experimenting on, adding what I learned to my vi. Every time I had equipment taken from me, I would go grab something different. I would modify, instead of starting over and have just a few weeks to continue learning before we got another order in and have to go back to my regular job. After a few months away I would go back and pick up somewhere else.

 

I went through the NI videos as much as I could but it seemed as though they would assume I knew something that I did not know, or that I could not get it to work as advertised (probably my issues). The pdf files and other training helps were good until they wanted me to use something I did not have, or go into an area that looked like it would be to large of a time commitment for what I could afford.

Without an event structure, the next think is to "poll" the controls.  Read them frequently in a loop, and do something if the value is different than it was before.  You store the value in a shift register so you can compare the current iteration with the previous iteration.
