Timing visibility of picture control

[icemaker]

I am trying to control 3 picture controls in my program. I would like to make one visible, then hidden, make the second visible then hidden and so on. Each on off would have to be timed. I tried setting up a flat seq structure and wiring a boolean to the visible property node of each picture control but it doesnt ever seem to turn it off and make it not visible. Thanks in advance for help.

Hi icemaker,

you can build an array with the references of all your picture controls. Use a for loop to run through this array and set the option like you need it. If your picture controls overlayed, then make only one visible at the time.

Hope it helps.

Mike,

Bare with me because I am fairly new to Labview. The references you mention, are these the references I already made to the visibility? Also do I wire them to a 'build array' then put the array it makes inside of the loop itself?

Thanks!

Hi icemaker,

yes it sounds good. See the attached example, it works with leds but technically it's the same.

That works just right. How can I make it automatically cycle through and then repeat? I tried wiring a timing to the i for the loop but it doesnt seem to work.

Hi icemaker,

do you mean like this?

Exactly! Thanks a million. I was trying to take value out of the timer itself instead of using it the correct way. Thanks again.
