I want the tick count in the case structure to start when OK Button is True and not when the while loop starts.

Hello,

I can't find a way to solve this, I'd really appreciate the help.

The VI should display three periods of sin(2*pi*f*t) on a waveform chart and save the data in a spreadsheet only when the Save button is pressed.
The VI should start calculating the function only when the OK Button is pressed.

Is there a way for the tick count in the case structure to start when OK Button is True and not when the while loop starts?

I attached the VI for more clarification.

 

NB: I'm new to LABVIEW

Thank you,

Best regards,

Karl.

Look into shift registers.

Shift registers allow values to be stored in a loop iteration so the next iteration can use it.

Have a look, see if it makes sense, let us know if you need more help with that.
