Well. I didn't even get one like, let alone 10 points

Apollo 13? (It's a NASA saying)

Thanks Antoine for your workaround to fix the Labview crash after installation of the 1.4.0.15 version on also LV2018 SP1. Your tip just helped me, too. I had Labview crashing also with the previous 1.3.0.12 version installation on LV2015 SP1, there for some reasons it helped to install all required packages package by package with the JKI VIPM. Apart from that recent installation issue the Control class UI Tools addon is a fantastic tool, and we use it frequently. Thanks François!

It's like real life - overpromised and underdelivered. Now others have to fix it 😋

I just post something along the lines of "can't find it right now" and usually someone with better organisation than me finds the link. Damn. giving away all my secrets.

A while loop iterates once everything in the loop has completed. The event structure has a timeout (little blue box in the upper left corner of the structure) that defaults to -1 which is no timeout. So what is going on is the while loop is entered, the input path control is written to the output path indicator, and the event structure waits for something to happen. And waits. And waits. And waits. The while loop never iterates as the first iteration hasn't completed yet. With the probe, unless you have "Retain Wire Values" selected (icon up in the button bar of the block diagram) then the probe can be misleading. If you don't have it selected, the "not executed" really means not-executed-since-you-created-the-probe. Turning on "Retain Wire Values" before you run a VI changes that to a literal meaning.

It would really be nice to see some code or even like just the concept to see what you're talking about. Have you seen this VI? http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/glang/stall_data_flow/

The hallmark of an experienced LabVIEW developer is the usage of their or others templates which prevent the ubiquitous blank block diagram symptom where time is wasted doing the same thing that they have done before. Attached and linked you will find the TLB` (prime) template which, after a little learning what the parts are, can take you from zero to 60 in no time the next time you need to create a Top-Level application or interface. This template can be used from the ultra simple UI to a fairly complex application. Many questions and comments have been made about the original design (TLB) which is located here http://lavag.org/topic/14164-discuss-tlb-top-level-baseline/ This reason for the update in this design is detailed in the presentation "Rebirth of the LabVIEW State Machine" which is accessible here http://lavag.org/topic/16091-ni-week-2012-videos/page__view__findpost__p__97844 Installing and Creating http://screencast.com/t/vtlFgLhQqT Review of Examples http://screencast.com/t/XLIN0yjS Structure of Code http://screencast.com/t/5RtMhPVujS Basic Flow of Operational Code http://screencast.com/t/1QGFRRuSf0nT Adding a control to the system http://screencast.com/t/IJTxEQ28 Adding an action to the system http://screencast.com/t/5984lGlMjM <More to come soon> QSM Evolution.zip Code used in presentation video detailing why the typical QMH is fraught with issues that we have all run into Credit to Daklu for it's creation and sharing ni_tool_tlb`-1.2.0.23.vip Most up to date version of TLB` Rebirth of the LabVIEW State Machine.pptx TLB` Application Template.vipc
