Count Boolean True's

[Superdude_123]

I'm trying to create a simple counter when a boolean value is true. If I was writing line code, I would simply say that once SAVE is TRUE, then COUNT = COUNT + 1, else, COUNT = COUNT, and then drop out of the loop.

Attached is the scrren shot of what I have. The problem is the counter keeps counting until the SAVING variable goes off. I just want it to increment by one. I've tried multiple ways of doing this, however, 2 hours later and still no avail.

I used a while loop to wait for a user response.  Otherwise, the loop is not necessary.

This gives you the option to reset the counter on the fly and it will reset on the first call.

I hope this isn't homework.

Hi,

LabVIEW comes with a ready-to-use PtByPt-BooleanCrossing function, which makes it easy to count (rising) edges of boolean signals...
