How to create a vi that sets on/off an equipment via fieldpoint modules?

Hi,
I am a new user at Labview environment and I have a FieldPoint 2000 and some modules and I am trying to create a vi using Labview 7, that sets my equipment (an actuator) on and leave it like this for 2 min, when it is suppose to shut off for another action. The new action takes 4s and then I have to put the actuator on again. I simply placed a FP Write vi inside a while loop, but I am having some difficulties in setting the values for on and off in a logical and conditional way. Is there maybe any ready code (like a on/off vi) that I could use (with the proper adaptations for my case)somewhere?
Could anyone help in this issue?
Thanks a lot

Hello
First create a Write FP in a sequence and create a which is having a control timer inside the same frame for the actuator to be ON and then in the next sequence switch it off, and then the next sequence frame make the action ur supposed to make, with another timer with the time u need for the the action
and all this sequence can be put into a while loop aor for loop according to your application
Am I correct in assuming that you are trying to develop
Have a great day.
