Hi Stefan, thanks for the quick reply. I guess my question was not clear enough.

My aim is to create a button which mimics the "Start/Stop" button functionality in the
"Programs" page where we start all the front-ends for the various equipment. The idea is that
the user will use a simple interface in a custom page (not the status page) which sets up the
equipment needed for a specific type of measurement.

thanks
Zaher
