How to Pause/continue a loop in Labview

[nomi_g]

Hi, I am afraid your program was not running really, but it just keep th LED on. If I put a timer there it stops and LED is still ON.  I want to make timer/stop watch that run or stop similarly but in real .

You are replying to a discussion that is from 2009. This thread contains two different VIs by two different contributors and you don't say which one you are referring to.

Your post does not make a lot of sense. Where did you put the timer? Where is the LED? What is "real"?

Thanks for pointing out. I am really sorry. I missed to see the date. I tried to understand both and  got idea to develop the attached timer VI having play, pause, refrech and stop buttons. Any suggestions/comments to improve it more would highly be appreciated.

Unnecessarily overcomplicated. You do not need an Event loop to get this functionality...

For such task you should use a Functional Global Variable as a subVI. Use Event loop for your GUI, not fur such a simple task.

See the attached simple example.

Sorry, i just did not read through the first part. For such task, I would use a producer/consumer with events + the timer subVI.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong in my VI? I ve done what you guys told to do. I added the theng that I want to run in the timeoutcase and it is not running properly. The buttons are not working well and it does not respond.

We cannot tell because you didn't attach the VI for us to look at.

If you do not attach your VI, how can you expect any help??

You can download in the link above. I don't know why I could not attach it. The main Vi is Versao3.vi

I would not download from such site a file...

Try to attach the VI using Chrome or Internet Explorer. There is a known bug with Firefox...

EDIT: When I had problem attaching a VI from Firefox, this fixed it:

"1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter.
2. Find the preference browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes and, if it is present, right-click on it and select reset.
3. Find the preference plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types and, if it is present, right-click on it and select reset."
