very simple add and append data

I apologize for the simplistic nature of this query, I am new to the labview environment, and I’m sure there are many ways to achieve this.

What is the best way to take the product of a user controlled input (dial 1-1000 dbl) and a count (1 second) and then display the result as an accumulation, such that if the loop stops, or the dial is turned to zero the result will always indicate the aggregate of the increments?

For clarification: Within a while loop I have a dial scaled from 1-1000, I also have a time delay of 1sec, how would I display a value of 505 if I set the dial at 500 and ran it for 5 seconds before stopping. Furthermore, once I start again, I want the new value to add (append) to the 505 value.

Any advice will save me tons of trial and error….

Much obliged,

Look into a shift register.

Here's a rough draft (LV8.0).
