Hi paul_cardinale,

I am using labview 8.0 so could not open the vi. Would it be possible to send a picture of the vi?

Thanks,

In any case, you need to carry metadata about the state in addition to the boolean value, doubling the complexity of the datatype.

As I said, a color LED of colorbox type (U32)  is a significantly better idea. Here's one possible example:
