Can a case structure execute multiple cases?

[ENGRLAB]

So I have a VI set up with a mutiple option case structure to select which input a voltage is read from (there are 32 options). Now that I have it made, I realize that sometimes I may want to read from multiple inputs at once.. Is there an easy way to change my setup so that it executes multiple cases at a time? Right now my control is a slider to choose the case. What would be a good front panel control choice to be able to select multiple options? Thanks

There is no way to execute two cases at the same time.  What you could do is combine the code from two cases into one.

No the case structure will only run a single case each time through the case structure.

You need to put the case structure inside a while loop to execute it more than once.

You need a STATE MACHINE

If the options are simple you could use a For loop and load an array with the cases you want to run.

You can build an array of your options and loop through the required cases. As mentioned, a case can only perform 1 case per loop.

A good front panel control would be a cluster or an array of booleans (e.g. a tick box per option), easy to loop through. 🙂

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestions!
