Use event structure and while loop in parallel

[dcharlot]

Hello, I would like to use an event structure in parallel with a while loop. I have a camera that needs to constantly take pictures and I have that setup in the while loop. I also however need to do other functions in conjunction with the picture taking. I have about 50 or so events that need to have access to while the pictures are taken. Is there any way to do this? If not is there any way to have a global stop variable that is attached to all 50 of the events. I know I can do this the hard way and have each boolean event in the event structure be attached to the while loop stop control. This is however very inefficient. I would also like to know if I can simply use a mouse click as the stop of the while loop. Am I able to have a variable that goes from false to true on mouse click without using the event structure to do this? Thanks.

Yes, just place the event structure in a second while loop.

Add a stop button to the other while loop and add an event for the stop button to stop both loops. For a simple example, see my VI posted here:

Simply add more event cases as needed.
