Labview popup message check voltage and hit enter to continue

[RBlair13090]

Can someone please point me to an example of a simple pop up that pauses a program with a message and asks the user to hit Enter to continue?

Basically the power supply in the test is not automated yet

I need to 

Pause the program

Tell the operator to set a voltage 

Then continue the program

I am guessing this needs to be an event?

Can I trigger on the Error in line?

Any examples would be greatly appreciated

You have to create a subVI with properties (window appearance) set as dialog. 

To launch it when it is required we need to know how your main program is build...

Create vi with UI and call it as subVI with "open FP when called"

Edit:

Sorry I just reread your post and noticed that the equipment was not automated.  But if you do automate the attached equipment then my comment below would apply.

My advice is to be careful with pop up messages when you are controlling external equipment.  You can create other issues if you are controlling a piece of equipment and a pop up stops your program waiting for input.

I was controlling a cooling loop on a chamber and everything worked fine.  Then one day while the LN2 solenoid was on for cooling a pop up froze the program waiting for a response.  Luckly LN2 is easy to clean up and nothing bad happened.

I don't have 2015 installed to look at your program.  Right click on the block diagram goto Programming > Dialog & User Interface and look at the Prompt User VI.  Or just search for Prompt User.

Why are we exploring all of these complicated methods to do what was solved a thousand times easier in the first reply?

Throw up the one button dialogue.
