State Machine for Brew System

[TunaSalad]

I am attempting to develop an automated system for brewing beer. When I add a timer circuit the timer will run, but it stops the daq from receiving the input signal from the thermistors. Anyone know how to fix this?

You will soon be asked to post a code and preferably of a version that most can access, say 2018.

EDIT: Not a picture/ snapshot. But an actual VI. I do not think your question is detailed enough to be answered in a helpful manner.

You mention "state machine" in the subject, but we cannot even guess what the problem might be. What is a "timer circuit"?

Please attach your vi to hopefully make things a bit clearer.

I am building an automated system for brewing beer. I have 5 outputs (2 pumps, 2 valves, and a heating element) and two inputs (thermocouples). 

I want to write a program that will operate like a state machine. I want it to get to a certain temp then hold it there for a set amount of time, then change temp and hold it for a new set time. The issue is when I add the elapsed time function it stops the thermocouples from receiving input signals.  I will post my code below. Thanks in advanced for any help.

You have defined your states wrong.  Essentially you stuck a wait for Time inside a state rather than defining your states as Start Process, Check if Process is completed.

I wrote this analogy  some time ago to help illustrate how to define states and stare transitions.

I just want the input signals to run as well as the timer.
