What is the best way to create a timer that counts up and down automatically?

[ylevental]

I found a guide to create a countdown timer, but in this case, I want the timer to automatically count up and down from zero to a certain value.

This is the countdown guide: http://www.rmuti.ac.th/user/nopparat/document/pdf/LabVIEW_Lab6.pdf

Get the labview success package. It contains a lot exercises about timers. however if you want to count down

get the current timer value, add the top value and then each call subtract the current timer value from the sum.

stop when the sum is zero.

I guess you're a little lazier than the last guy that asked this very same question and your homework is due Friday?  😄
