Jarek,

I have a nested design with multiple inputs from bandpass filters. The inputs all connect to an Excel filewriter. The file writer advanced property is set to do not start. When recording is to start (button click in the main design, the logical signal is sent into the nested design. That signal goes to an elementinteractor, Start, The excel writer does not start. I placed the nested design into a new design and it did not work there either. Element interactors set up in the exact same way for pausing and resuming the excel file writer. work just fine.

The nested design is quite large, with 140 total inputs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

George

The Start command from ElementInteractor should work with any element. It is used a lot. So I don't see any reason why that would not work with ExcelFileWriter. If you have a snippet which demonstrates that, I will be happy to take a look.

Jarek,

I have used it frequently also. The issue seems to be in the nested design itself. The the only place it is not working is inside the nested design

If I run the nested design on its own, the button click starts the excel writer. If the nested design is placed into another design then the start button/interactor does not work.

I will try recreate this in a smaller snippet for you to look at.

There is another issue with the design as well that may be linked to the synchronizer I am using to get all samples down to 1 per second.

Jarek,

I created a smaller snippet (20 inputs) and discovered it worked just fine. I must have messed up something in the original nested design.
