Changing an output box in a case structure to an input box

[Muhammad Asfour]

Hi, I was working on a wiring diagram in Labview and I was trying to
wire an absolute value symbol to the right border of a case structure.
The problem is that I get an output box (an white filled box with an
orange border) instead of an input box (an orange filled box). How
would I change the output box into an input box?


Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. Where is your constant? If it is inside the case structure then it can't be an input to the case.

Brian Can you please give me your e-mail address so that I can e-mail
you a screenshot of what I am talking about?

Thanks

Hi,

A wire can have only one source.
If the source is outside the structure, the "tunnel will be an input. If the source is inside (any of the cases), you will have an output tunnel.

Bottom line:
The location of the source will determine if the tunnel is an input or an output.

Muhammad-
There is no difference between an input and an output box, they are the same thing. The white box indicates that not all the cases in your case structure have an input wired to the box. Go to the other cases, right click on the box and select create>>constant. Once all the cases have an input wired, the box will become solid.

Ray, I tried your method it still does not work. Any suggestions?

Next wire the constant.
