Choosing between two loops to execute

[penguins88]

For example, let's say I created a VI with two loops...is there a function or way to allow only 1 of the loops to operate if a certain criteria is met?

So let's say if the number is greater than 10, loop 1 will execute but if the number is less than 10, loop 2 will execute.

I was thinking of something like a "if, else" kind of statement but I can't seem to find anything similiar to that in LabVIEW.

I didn't attach my VI because I haven't been able to figure out what functions to use yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds like you need to use a case structure as in the picture below.

Run one case or the other.

Another way.

I think you are approaching this from the wrong end.

Why not use a single loop containing a case structure with the two code alternatives? That would make much more sense. 😄

If the requirement is to run both loops simultanously use two case structures with in a loop

otherwise you could use them in two different states with a statemachine architecture
