case structure not going through all cases before restarting

[joelklabo]

I have a case structure and it is not going throught the entire list of cases, I cannot figure out the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached my VI:

In your case labeled "exhauset 24", you reset the state back to "valve 2 open".

Your program is way (way!!) too convoluted to do any serious code maintenance. Properly written, the same functionality can be achieved wich much less code. 90% of your code is duplicate. Why don't you use arrays?

I do not know how to use arrays, this is my first time using LabView. Any advice?

Joel,

To find some example programs that show how to use arrays in LabVIEW first open the example finder (Help->Find Examples).  Then navigate to the Fundamentals->Arrays and Clusters directory.  Here you will find quite a few examples on how to use arrays in LabVIEW.  Something else that might be good to look at would be the "Learn LabVIEW 8 in 3 hours" document that we have on our website.  Here's a link to that document.
