How can I use a Boolian Indicator? - Newbie question

How can I make a LED indicator light up when a certain operation is performed and then reset it to be ready for the next time I run the VI?? In other words, I am trying to use the ERROR OUT cluster that comes out of the IMAQ VIs and unbundle it to get the Status. I then invert that status and connect it to an LED. The LED lights up when my program finishs executing that VI as it should, however, I want to reset it back to OFF when I finish or stop the program so that it could be ready for the next round. I thought I read somewhere about initializing the indicators to a certain state before running the program. How could I do this? I am using LV 7.

Thank you

unpack error cluster and get "status".

Hello Pawel,
I did unpack the error cluster, and I do have access to the "Status." However, my problem is with resetting the indicator once I stop running the VI. I have an indicator that lights up when a certain sub VI finishes executing. I want to reset that indicator to OFF when I click stop or when the total VI finishes running so that it can be ready for the next round.
Thanks

You can create a local variable and set to to false with constant.
