Boolean Latch in Block Code

[Midna19]

Hello

I am trying to make a latch boolean in my code. I want to make it so that once an indicator is true, it will stay true for the duration of the run. I also want it to restart the boolean latch to false everytime the program is ran. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

You can try changing the Mechanical Action of boolean... Select Switch when released behaviour...!!

I don't think you can do that for indicators in the block diagram?

I know you can if it is a control in the front panel but not in block diagram?

I tried right clicking on the indicator boolean but the mechanical action is disabled(transparent) and not an option.

Is there another way?

What I want to do is create a boolean latch within my code.

You need to be careful with terminology. The term "latch action" has a special meaning in LabVIEW and is used for controls.

However, you can easily achieve your desired effect using a shift register or feedback node. Here is one possible solution. SImply incorporate the logic shown before wiring to the indicator.
