Restart VI with a button

[milan87]

Hello All,

is it possible to restart VI with a button/value change...?

For example, I want to press button, and my VI should stop and start again immediately...

I tried this way, but I don't know how to start it again...

Can someone advise please...

Best regards.

Milan

Not really.

But you can use a State Machine and go back to your first state with a button press very easily.

"Could vs Should"

Spoiler

I was given some code developed by others that had a "restart button". That button invoked a ".bat" file that delayed a short time and then invoked the "exe" of the top-level VI. I had to wonder what type of trouble were they having that they decided to implement a restart of the program? I hope I never find out!

I knew someone would make me happy I didn't write "no". But let's at least stick with "don't do this!" 🙂
