As a first step, you need to learn the basics of LabVIEW, dataflow, and program architecture. Once you have that, the rest will fall into place.
I assume you have the LabVIEW Phidget drivers and instructions, right?
You can't just dive into the deep end before taking swimming lessons!
We cannot debug images of code because it is impossible to tell how things are connected.
Notice all these red coercion dots? They indicate a datatype mismatch between the wire and what the next input expects. Obviously there should probably not be I64 anywhere, so why convert to that type? Do you know about datatypes?
It is not obvious what the meaning of the value is that you wire to the wait, but it seem glaringly wrong! Isn't that supposed to be a session reference? We also cannot tell what you connect to the next primitive. Is that the input wire or the output of the wait primitive? The output of the wait primitive is a relative ms counter and typically a gigantic and random U32 number, but if you just branch the input, the wait runs in parallel to the next primitive and will not stall anything. Dataflow!
Currently, your code is a single downhill run that is not suitable for an interactive program. A real program has a toplevel loop and a collection of states (state machine!).
Hi edvic,

if i wanted to essentially create preset 5 target positions at a specified time how could i incorporate that?
You create an array to hold your target positions and delays, then you use an autoindexing loop to handle one setpoint after the other!
