Ok, here is a start at handling this as an event driven system. This can be either a simple event structure or look at the producer/consumer template for doing the same thing using a queue to pass commands from the user interface to the work loop. pop up a dialog box to get the file name and test data. This is just a sub-vi with the vi properties set to dialog. It just loops until an accept button is pressed and then passes the filename and test data to the main prog. initialize Then big event structure in a while loop with events for (A/B radio button), (C/D/E radio button), (F/G radio button) and a stop button. Start with A/B visible and enabled and the other 2 invisible. When A/B has value changed, use the new value to select a case to hide (or grey out and disable) the C/D/E radio button and unhide the F/G radio button and do calibration procedure 2 (or vice versa for the other case) also hide the A/B radio button. For the F/G radio button event use a case to select a call to process F or G in a loop, for each iteration ask to "re-do?" in a dialog box or make other test and decide to exit the loop. Store the file and return to the main event loop. For the stop button change event case send the new value of the stop button to the main while loop to terminate. -Scott -- - Dr. Scott Hannahs, Head of User Research Instrumentation - - http://sthmac.magnet.fsu.edu - - National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University - - 1800 E.
