This should be the simplest thing to do, but I'm getting stuck for some reason: I have a time delay running for a user-specified number of seconds, and I want an indicator on the front panel showing how much of this time has elapsed. I thought the "Elapsed Time" VI would be exactly what I was looking for, but I can't seem to get it to do what I want. I've attached my attempt; if you can point out where I'm going wrong, it would be much appreciated.

You don't have a while loop, so your code only runs once.
Your time delay is running in parallel with the elaspsed time. So it will delay the execution of the code.
Get rid of the time delay and put the elapsed time and its indicator in a loop.
