Controlled timimg

I am using several signal to control a valve. IU want to control the injection duration theefore, I am trying to control the time generated signal is turn on for. I have several signals in the loop and want to run the VI for 7 seconds then turn it off the signal but still have the other loop in the programme still running. In other words I dont want to shut down the entire programe after 7 seconds but just the generated valve signal. I have tried using an Elaspsed time IV but this does not seem to work..

Please see my VI attached.

Wow. Everything is BIG in this VI... the front panel, the block diagram, the loops in the block diagram...

You should learn about Producer/Consumer. It can help you a big deal to reduce size and to accomplish what you are looking for.
