Problem with event structure

[Thabos]

 Hi, I have been trying to solve my code. it has event structures and do not know how to work around. Actually, I have two buttons, the first button start an event when value change, and the second one stops a while loop inside the event when also its value changed. But the problem is, once the first buton is pressed, i cannot press the second button.

Please find the attached code.

SOme points:

First the source of you problem is taht the 'Start Event' is configured to lock the FP unitl the event is finished, however since you stall the event with a while loop inside you will never 'finish' the event. To overcome this uncheck the setting 'Lock FP' in the event dialog.

Second it is a bad idea to have a while loop inside an event case, try to get the 'End loop' as an event as well.

And let this event finish the main while loop.

Hi Thabos,

you should deal each control event separately.

Please try the vi in attachment and check whether it works.

also you should look into the example finer and tutorials to help you learn good programming practices such as how to use a event structure.

have a good day.
