How to get a Pause and un-Pause function into my vi

2004-04-20 Thread BartBlue 

Hello there,

I have created a vi with the following things:

1) Pressure control
2) Flow control

To pause:
   Pressure to high
   Pressure to low
   Flow to high
   Flow to low

When it is in pause:
- the power should be cut of and the valve should be closed
and the remaing time should stay.

Un-pause:
 Time start to run again, valve opens and the power on.

Visualy:
 I have to show on the screen:
 Which thing have activated the pause function and the valeu´s


I´m using: Labview 6.1 and Fieldpoint hardware

when you need the vi´s please post a message then i send them

This is easily done with a state machine architecture. There is a
simple example written in LabVIEW 5.0 that can be found A

The state machine is a very powerful way to write programs. There are
numerous examples on NI Developer Zone and a couple examples that ship
with LabVIEW. Do a search in either to find them.
