Stopping a timed loop - looking for a more elegant solution

[george seifert]

I have a timed loop that can have a time between iterations of up to several minutes. I want to be able to stop the loop when the user presses a button. The way I stop the timed loop now is by monitoring the button in another faster timed loop (1 sec). When the button is pressed I stop the fast loop and then run the Stop Timed Structure VI to stop the slower loop. I'll stop the slower loop also if an error occurs there in which case I then have to run the Stop Timed Structure VI to stop the faster loop. This seems a bit convoluted and was wondering if there's a more elegant solution.

There is a thread here where people have shared some nice VIs. jpdrolet's "loop continue" is excellent for stopping parallel loops, and it might work well for you. I use it all the time now...
