Can anyone help fix my laptimer

[mattjwelch]

I would be really greatful if anyone could suggest a way to make my laptimer work.

I want to be able to reset that lap time when the lap button is pressed. Because of the loop structure i have i cannot pass the boolen trigger into the second while loop. Would an invoke node help? Im new to labview and so i dont really understand why this is not allowed.

Thanks in adavance for any assistance.

Run this attached VI.

I must admit that I "kind of vaguely understood"  what you are trying to achieve and designed this program.

each time you press Reset Lap buton, the lap numer is incremented and the lap time display starts from 0:00:00

Fine tune it as per your requirement

Any doubts, do ask

Hello Matt,

you should be aware that LabVIEW has Dataflow, the inner while loop will read each iteration the data of the lap button as it was at the first time you should move the button insde the while loop together with the stop button.

Have a look at the attachement.

OR you could the whole way like devchander is showing.....
