Hi Jeyanthi,

What re W1, W2 & W3?

Can you explain a bit more on what you are doing or what you are trying to achieve?

Hi jeyanthi,

you can use a while loop with an event structure in it. Create a shift register in the loop. count every button value change in the "value change" event. To store the current value you can use an action engine. Call this (action engine) vi before the while loop to read the last value und after the loop to store the last value.

W1= Write1

W2= Write2......

Hi jeyanthi,

here is a short example (LV80) for you. The "sub.vi" is the vi in which is your button.

Hope it helps.
