Saving the Control Values on a Front Panel
I am creating a VI in which I have approximately 10 front panel controls that can be changed by a user. Instead of entering the same values over an over again, I would like to provide the user the option to save a set of control values that can then be loaded the next time around via a drop-down box. Before I began I just wanted to see if anyone had done anything similar. I was stumped as to how to approach it. Any suggestions? Matt
Re: Aborting a SubVI
Ed, As I mentioned in my last post, I am working on using a stop command to halt a subVI. I have removed the loop and added case structures at certain intervals to skip the remaining tasks. However, I am having problems because the Stop command is only sent to the subVI once. I think this is what your were indicating when you said I needed a seperate loop in my main VI? Could you please elaborate on how that would work? I am a little confused on that matter. Matt
Re: Aborting a SubVI
Thanks! That looks like what I need.
Aborting a SubVI
I have a VI that calls a subVI which runs a flat sequence loop. I am having trouble finding a way to stop the subVI so that the flat sequence does not finish the iteration. Basically, I want to be able to have a stop button on the front panel of my main VI that immediately aborts the subVI without progressing in the flat sequence. Any suggestions? Matt
Re: Aborting a SubVI
Ed, Thanks for your help. I was afraid you might say that about the sequence loop. I had read some articles that lead me to believe that I should re-design to another type of loop. I have a number of tasks that need to be complete before the next task starts, which made it seem (at the time) that the sequence loop was my best choice. Will the while loop be ok for that kind of requirement? Matt
Re: Displaying a custom graph
Joe, Your re-wiring suggestion worked. The graph now functions as I had hoped it would. Also, up to this point I havent had any problems with freezing. I have my fingers crossed that the wait function also worked. Thanks for all your help. Due to your knowledge of my program, is it ok to add a comment in this thread in the future if I have a problem? thanks again, Matt
Re: Displaying a custom graph
Joe, I was wondering if you recieved any of my previous comments about my problems. I will periodically check back. Matt
Re: Displaying a custom graph
Thank you Joe and Dennis, I think with your suggestions I will now be able to satisfy the requirements of my program. Because of some hardware difficulties at the office, I will be unable to test the program for a short time. However, once I am able to test I will let you know if I have any further troubles. Matt
