i am trying to create a vi of an afl scoreboard based on a diagram of a vi of a 7segment led display that i found on the net, but i don't understand how to use the case structure so it just gives me the same error over and over again. Can anybody help me?If your not familiar with afl, the scoreboard displays 3 sets of numbers, each with the capability of displaying 2 digit numbers. The final set should actually be 3 digits but i don't know how to expand it. If anyone could help me with that, it would be most appreciated. Please help me asap if possible, i'm desperate!!!!

I suggest to drop this approach and use a font from NI named "NI7SEG.ttf". This font is not always installed in the fonts directory so make a search on your harddrive and install this font. Depending on Windows version you may simply have to copy the file in c:\windows\fonts or right-click ont the file icon and select "Install".

Once this font is intalled (LabVIEW may need to be relaunched), create a numeric control or a string control and select this font for the control using the font dialog. This is a True Type font, you can make it as large as you want. It will be far more easier to code and maintain your diagram with a simple indicator than with a bunch of LED indicators.

Can anybody help me?Every Case should have a conection to each indicator, otherwise you will get a mistake.
1.Go to the case an press on the right mouse tab and then select "Remove empty Cases".
2.Do this for each case block.
3.By right clicking on the case you can dupicate this case.
4.Make the needed changes on the new case(you have to wire all the indicators with a [T]or an [F] Constant).
5.repeat this for each case.and then for each case block.
her is your VI with an idea of what I meen.
I hope this can help you.
