terminate while loop

[mhs100]

Hi ,

 If an outer while loop contains an event and another inner while loop and  both the event and inner while loop are separate, then is there any possibilty that the execution comes out of the inner while loop when the event occurs and after executing the event it comes back to the inner while loop where it was previously executing, just like Interrupts.  HOW is it possible?

I have no idea because I could not follow what you were saying. Are you saying you have an event structure and one of the events has a while loop inside? Or, do you have a parallel loop? Or do you have something else.

Please post some code.

What a convoluted question, but I think I know what you are asking.  No, the event case will not pause a parallel loop and it will not return to it after the event is done.  You have to code this function.  See the following example.  The work loop is to the right of the event loop.  It will run until the Dummy boolean becomes true.  When that happens, the loop inside the True case runs until the Dummy becomes False.  This has the effect of pausing the loop.  In the event, I make Dummy true to pause the work loop when the event fires, wait a bit, then make Dummy false to allow the work loop to continue.

 

I tried to attache a code snippet, but the damn thing wants to create a property node and reference for a local variable.  If the Code Capture Tool can get it right, then the Snippet tool should be able to do the same.  Somebody at NI needs to fix this.

Hi Tbob,

On the local variable/property node issue: This was reported to R&D for further investigation in CAR 212845. 

Cheers,

YAAAYYYY   Once fixed, I will use the snippet more often.

This is total of-topic, but what's stopping you from using the Code Capture Tool? (I am interested in this answer, since it probably improves the Code Capture Tool)

I did use the Code Capture Tool.  I use it a lot more than I use Snippet.  Most of my pictures are done with Code Capture Tool.

Well... this is not the only bug with the native snippet generation in LabVIEW.

Try with cluster constants !

 LabVIEW

 CCT

Let's hope that these bugs have been corrected in LV2010.

All I have to say is that I'm immensely happy and deeply impressed with the evolution of the CCT. 

Of course, the original idea was mine (brag, brag...) but I must claim that I would never have had the patience and talent shown by Tst and Tony over the various versions. Just open the source, and look at the perfection of the diagram presentation ! 

Chapeau les Artistes !

Now, if a working version could be developped for the Mac...

I ran into the cluster constant issue just yesterday (or the day before).  I am also very impressed with the CCT.  I use it more than the snippet.
