I have a case structure (with 10 cases) and I want only 2 of them to be included in a loop.

Hi all,

I am new in this forum and I have a question.

I have a case structure (with 10 cases) and I want only 2 of them to include in a loop.
how can it be done?

thanks.

You're going to have to elaborate. A case structure has a selector input for whichever case should be run. All cases will be ignored other than the specific case that is selected when the code is run.

Share what code you've tried so far.

Thanks for the fast respone James.

OK, I'll be more specific.

the first 5 cases are preperations I am doing for a test.

6 and 7 are the actual testing (that is why I need to repeate them with different variables)

8 to 10 - are reporting and returning the system to initial state.

all cases are executed with no exceptions.

I can't loop 6 and than loop 7 (this is something I already did - for other needs) - I need a solution for looping them together. 

Regards,

Moshe

Please include a Snippet of your code, or attach your VIs, so that we can better assist you. You can control which cases are operated based on your case selector... so I don't see what issue you're having.

Use Proper State Machine, where you can select cases based on your Needs

[ChrisK88 · Accepted solution]

I would suggest you look at the State Machine template and use that, it is a while loop with a case structure inside of it. This way, you can use the State Machine messages define the next state (or "case number").

Sounds like what you really need is a State Machine.  But without some real code to show what you are trying to do, we are just guessing here.
