VI High 8 - More on How to Program Events with the Event Structure in LabVIEW

In this continuation of our last episode, we examine one of the most commonly asked LabVIEW programming questions: how do I use the event structure? We examine executing two events from the same event case and the basics of programming a timeout event case.

In the video, we mention that we don't need to place a numeric terminal in an event case tied to that numeric but we must place the terminal of a latch action Boolean in the event structure case corresponding to that Boolean. Why is that? This is taken from the LabVIEW Help topic " Using Events with Latched Boolean Controls":
"When you trigger an event on a Boolean control configured with a latching mechanical action, the Boolean control does not reset to its default value until the block diagram reads the terminal on the Boolean control. You must read the terminal inside the event case for the mechanical action to work correctly. As a reminder, a note appears in the Edit Events dialog box when you configure a Value Change event on a latched Boolean control."
