Issue Details

I want to stop the VI during a property node execution. Can this be achieved in LabVIEW?

Solution

In LabVIEW, you can only stop a VI after the Property Node has finished executing—not while it is still using the resource. 

When you invoke a Property Node, LabVIEW blocks until the property is read or written. If you try to stop the VI while a Property Node is executing, LabVIEW will wait for the node to finish before stopping the VI. The table illustrates the stopping behavior with property nodes
