counter program? Like a ticker

[bawhite8]

I need to make a program that keeps count, whether i press a "minus 1" button or a "plus 1" button in the while loop. I'm not sure on how to actually convert the boolean logic of the button pressed to equal an addition of the number? Any comments appreciated!

Mathan, were both of your buttons supposed to increment it? Or did you forget a case?

Is there any reason you don't want to use a simple numeric since you want to increase and decrease it manually?

The up and down buttons are your plus 1 and minus 1 buttons with no booleans or logic..

This one actually works. Just messing with you Mathan but yours only counts up.

If you again read the OP's post, he just want to count when the buttons are pressed and not want to actually inc/dec.

aeastet, my version of LabView is to current or too old, can you snap a screen shot of the VI false/true part?

I'm sorry, should have clarified, but I do want the count to increase or decrease according to the +/- buttons pressed continuously

here are the screen shots.

What version of LabVIEW you are using? Here is his program in 8.6.
