Hello, I am new to LabView and I am really struggling toggling between states when a button is pressed. The state should only change once per button click. and the state should remain until the next button click. I tried it with an additional register which holds a boolean whether the state was changed and if yes set it to false if the button was released but it is not working and super complex. You find the basic setup in the VI I uploaded. How would I achieve the desired behavior? Do I really have to manage multiple variable in order to check whether the state was already changed? Additionally, how would I wait in the inactive state for the next button click to change the state so that there are no unnecessary loops. I am really struggling for some time but nothing works + it is just messy trying to manage multiple shift registers to really only change once per button click (pressed). I would appreciate any help!

See if this can give you some ideas:

How to toggle between states only once when a button is pressed and stay in that state until button is pressed again?

Yes, that is true. I think I leave it out then. I don't want to only display the status but execute the functionality of the corresponding status. For example, stop if inactive and move if active (simplified). Therefore a case structure would be useful, or?

There are millions of way to do things. Sometimes a case structure is useful, of course. 😄
