Run Button without execute the program

Question

Hi,
Normally, when I am pressing the "run button", it will run the program. How do I prevent from executing the program until I want to enable? For example, I have 3 power supplies on my pxi box, and I don't want to run the program until I have all my value set: voltage, current limit, output function and etc...Then, I will press the button like (enable or set) to set a certain voltage at certain power supply. I am using Labview 8.6. Thank you.

Answer 1

Move the Set button outside that inner loop.  It should be inside the True case but not inside the inner loop.
To run it again for another power supply, you need to control the outer loop with a separate stop button.  Remove the boolean constants from the True and False cases that are wired to the stop sign.  Wire the new stop button to the stop sign.  When you are done setting all power supplies, press the new stop button.
If you know you will only be using two power supplies, you could replace the outer while loop with a For loop with a constant value of 2 wired to the N.  Then the loop will execute for the first power supply setting and then repeat for the next.
