outputting digital data from parallel loops

[l_m_s]

I have created a state machine that  will select a case from 0-23 with a forward and backward button.  in each case i am trying to output a 6 bit word which will be different for each case. however the the data in each case will only be outputed to the DIgital write function once the stop button is pressed. i unde stand that i have 2 parallel loops but im not sure how to get around this. ive attached my vi

LabVIEW follows data flow, so your second loop will wait for your data from your stop button. Look for Producer / Consumer Events examples using queues which is a much better way to solve your problem.
