This looks like exactly what I need.

I am using LabVIEW 2010 base. Is the base package enough to run this VI??   I am informed (while loading) that "State Type def .ctl" is missing (or isn't where its should be).

Thank you-

Please add "State Type def .ctl". Otherwise it looks great. Thank you.

Please add "State Type def.ctl"

Thanks

I added the type def, should be good to go now.
