Hello, I am a student Electromechanics in Belgium and I am making a simulation of an explosion with 48 leds for my final project. In the attachment you can see the program I already wrote. I think it can be done easier but I don't know how. I splitted the 48 leds into 2 arrays, with in each array 24 leds. If you see the program you will understand Actually the best way to make this is to shift bits, but I don't know how it can be done in LabVIEW. I will have to expand my program so it would be nice if I could just symplify this to get a better overview. So what I would like to know, can I shift "bits" like you can see the leds burning in following VI? It has to be possible to set the number of bits that are "1", and the speed of the shifting. 3 bits at the time: 1) 1110 0000 0000 2) 0111 0000 0000 3) 0011 1000 0000 4) 0001 1100 0000 5bits at the time: 1) 1111 1000 0000 2) 0111 1100 0000 3) 0011 1110 0000 4) 0001 1111 0000 Thanks

Also, I think (probably) you can download LabVIEW version 11 free of charge from NI's web site since you already own version 10; just use the same serial number you have.

take 2 on version 10 (I think I accidentally made the last one version 11)

Now I realise how messy my programming is.

I am learning to program in LVOOP to get a nice program.

Thank you all!
