Why doesn't stop button always stop my VI?

We are using the default "Continuous Acquisition to Spreadsheet" VI that came with Labview. Our application is recording 32 temperature readings to a text file, and displaying them simultaneously to the monitor. The scan rate is one per minute, the buffer size is 1 and the number of scans to write at a time is 1. When the stop button is hit, sometimes the VI stops soon (after the next write?), sometimes it doesn't and the stop button needs to be hit repeatedly to get the VI to stop. I'm not sure what is happening. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I have a feeling that this has to do with your data acquisition being so slow.
If you are only doing one scan per minute, I suggest you do use the AI Sample Channels VI, rather than a continuous acquisition.
The reason is, in the VI you are using, LabVIEW ties up the processor when the AI Read VI is called, and it is waiting for the data to be available in the buffer. Since you are scanning at 1 scan per minute, it will have to wait a minute until the data is ready, and it will take control of all the CPU time in the process.
Depending on when in the cycle you pressed the stop button determines how long you'd have to wait until the AI Read comes back with the data, and allows the CPU to process the stop button.
Using the AI Sample Channels VI with
a 1 minute delay will accomplish the same task, but it won't tie up the CPU like it is currently.

  • Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked in the apple update menu and at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking f.ud?

    Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • Why doesn't command-click always open links new tabs?

    Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open link in new tab" always works as described, but command-clicking on links only sometimes opens them in new tabs. I am guessing that it is Javascript related, but why can the contextual menu work, and not the click?

    ''Edit: You might already have this set if the right-click option always works.''
    By default, Firefox will divert standard new windows to a tab, but if the link actually is a script that launches a window with special parameters, like a dialog, then Firefox will honor that. There is an obscure setting to disregard those parameters and force all scripted windows into a new tab as well.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double click these and set the value as desired:
    '''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    '''3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>)''' (checked*)<br>
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
    1 = force new window into same tab
    '''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
    '''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
    '''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)'''<br>
    2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
    1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
    Does that work?

  • Why doesn't my phone always add photos?

  • Why doesn't Lightroom 5 always watermark exported images?

    I haven't changed the settings, but last time I tried to export images with a watermark the images appeared in the output folder without watermarks.
    The problem has occured before, but corrected itself when I re-exported the images. This time Lightroom is steadfastly ignoring the instruction to add a watermark.
    Any clues, why this happens?
    Some of my jpegs are zero length when exported, is there a fix for this, other than to export them again?
    I can fix the problem by using LR4.4, but why isn't LR5 working properly?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Most likely you simply ise an unsupported operating system. We really can't know. You have not provided any relevant info.

  • Why doesn't Artwork tab always appear?

    The 6th tab "ARTWORK" doesn't appear for obscure albums. This is frustrating, since I enjoy finding images to put there. A large part of my enjoyment with itunes is watching the artwork in Cover Flow View. I hate to look at the blank black covers whenever itunes doesn't offer the 6th tab "Artwork". What's wrong here? Is there a workaround? Is this a Flaw with itunes?

    You can find the artwork online from various sources. Google is your friend. THen you can edit the album info and insert the artwork

  • Why doesn't safari 5 always fill in username and password?

    Why is it that Safari sometimes remembers my user name, sometimes the username and password, and more often not at all. Often I go to a web site and have to fill in the information over and over. How can I make safari remember and fill in all this?

    Hi,
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Select the box next to: *User names and passwords*
    Your passwords are actually stored in Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities)
    When you login to a site, after selecting that box, after you enter your user name and password, you should be prompted to save that information, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for you.
    Keep in mind, some banking and investment sites do not allow the "autofill" feature to do security.

  • Song preview button in iTunes 9 doesn't stop songs?

    Upgraded to iTunes 9 last week when it was released, and sine then the preview (play) buttons next to songs in the Store have been able to play the standard preview of the song, but they do not stop the preview when I click them again. The image does change to a "stop" button, but the song doesn't stop unless I press the main "pause" button in the top-left or click another song to preview.
    Anyone else having this issue/found a solution?
    Thanks.

    "...and she said they were not aware of the issue until I brought it up."
    That's all I keep hearing- same when I had an error 23 brick my iPhone last week. Apparently, they hadn't heard of the issue yet it is plastered all over the net.
    Noticed this issue myself. Hopefully a small fix for the next release. I think they always have to rush the first release out for the specific date set (for the Apple show). I remember iTunes 8 had the Shuffle button not working on albums in its first version till the update.

  • The PSE 10 process doesn't stop after closing the application. Why??

    On Windows 7, the PSE 10 process doesn't stop when closing the  application, therefore the PSE 10 app. will not restart once it is closed. The user must stop the process from task manager or reboot before PSE 10 can be restarted on a Windows 7 machine. The forum suggestion to double-click the exe (instead of the shortcut) as a solution, obviously isn't a solution and can't work. There are no updates to PSE 10 and the only access to any support is through this forum. There have been complaints about this on blogs all over the Internet. Why can't Adobe come up with a fix/update or if they have where is it posted?

    First of all, there is no difference between the files on the disk and those downloaded as the trial. The only difference is that one comes with a serial number and the other does not. You can put your serial number into the trial version and it will then be activated. The only way the disk would behave differently is if there is some physical flaw (scratches, warping, etc). Usually such damage will cause the installation to fail, it's pretty difficult for such damage to modify the files in such a way that they still install but behave differently.
    If you are dropping a file on the shortcut and the Photoshop Elements Editor is opening but the file is not, there could be a few different things going on there. Check your shortcut properties first: does it go to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe? If the former, then there are probably some missing support files. If the latter, this is the Welcome Screen, which has likely been configured to launch the Editor automatically. However, you would be sending the file to the Welcome Screen, which doesn't do anything with the file. It is not capable of passing the file off to the Editor, only capable of launching it.
    Also, double-clicking a shortcut is generally the exact same thing as double-clicking the file the shortcut points to, but you can add modifiers to shortcuts to make them behave differently.
