Hi, I'm currently homeschooling myself LabVIEW. I'm trying to figure out how to do a simple master/slave design. Set an address at the master and if the slave is the same hitting send will transfer the data to the slave. All the tutorials and examples are way above my head so any good links to the basics would be appreciated. Below is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks

How is a frontpanel with several elements related to a master/slave design?

Did you notice those Training resources offered at the top of the LabVIEW board?
Did you take the Core1 training course?

Is this a software-only problem or are you describing some interaction with hardware?
If the first, it sounds like you need two parallel While loops and some sort of communication between them.
But a) I'm not sure what you want, and b) I suspect GerdW is right to suggest looking at some of the training options at the top of the forum to get a better initial understanding.

LabVIEW ships with a Template for the Master/Slave (or, as it is called in LabVIEW 2021, the "Controller/Worker") Design Pattern. Here's how to generate it (and study it as your leisure):
