Portion of code want to execute only once


Recommended Posts

Hi..

I have made one VI. In which some portion of code I want to execute only once. For that I have made one case statement. First time case condition is true and

desire code is executed. But how can I stop executing that code second time. Means second time I want to make case condition variable false.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.......

Search in the palettes for the "First call?" primitive. Wire that boolean output to your case structure. That prim will return true the first time it is called, but false thereafter. If you stop the VI running and restart, the prim resets.

First call works well if you only want the case called only once during program execution, but if this is a subvi that needs to be initialized each time it is called you should use a shift register.

Thanks for reply. I want to make subVI so gleichman is right. I have to make shift register. I tried to make one but as I am new to LabVIEW. I am not getting

success. I know it is very basic but don't know, why I can't make it happen?

Is there anybody who can send me simple subVI in which (may be using Shift Register) some portion of code can be called once even though the subVI is in the

while loop when that subVI will be used.

Thanks in advance.......
