write to boolean within cluster

[bassinbc]

I want to write true to a boolean when a case starts and then write false when the case completes. This will show which step is currently running.

I am using labview 2009. If I make a change to the values in the array while running, they are discarded. I want to maintain any changes to the string while the vi is running. Also, when the vi stops running, or at the begining of a run, I would like to set all boolean to false and numeric to zero (default values).

Well, I hate to say this but,  why not use a timed loop and a case structure?

An indicator on your enum would show the executing case just as well

The application has 50 or more sequences. Each array dim will be a sequence that can run once or numerous time. Each time the sequence runs I need a visual indication that the sequence is running. Inside the array is a lot of data that will be used to ramp voltage and current and turn on relays ...ect. The main thing is I want to have a way to indicate which seq. is running and then reset it all back to its default state when complete. While the program runs it is very important that the user is able to adjust things such as current output and voltage output. I made this vi as an example. It is in no way the application. I am just trying to get this to work.

I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, but based on just having a "moving" value perhaps the attached modification is closer to what you're trying to do...

This is close. I want to be able to identify which dim is running (thus the boolean lights when that dim runs), this is doing that. I need the array to initialize to default values, this is doing that. I need to be able to change all the other values inside the array (only have a string in this example) as the program runs, this isn't doing that.

Oh, come on, now. You have a Bundle By Name function right there to select which element of the cluster to change. Use it!

[bassinbc]

From the front panel the user needs to be able to change values (in this example the string) on the fly. It will start with a value and as the program runs change that value and be able to use the new value within the program case structure (on the fly).

I don't need an indicator.
