case repeatting

[NguahoanUSA]

Hello everbody:

Would you please help me out with my VI code. I try to make a case loop. I have 5 cases. Case 0, Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, Case 4, and Case 5. I try to make a loop:

Case 0 -->>Case 1-->>Case 2-->>Case 3-->>Case 4-->>Case 5-->>Case 0

Would you please correct my VI code?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Brian

Hi Brian ,

Here is the modified vi for yoy.Hope it solves your purpose.

Keep things as simple as possible.

Best Wishes !

You just need the Quotient & Remainder function to do it. Don't understand the purpose of the controls though so I just had the indicators cycle to represent which case has executed

I agree that things should be made simple.

Since you are using LabVIEW 8.0, you won't be able to look at the two modifications posted above.

Here is my suggestion that goes even a bit further (no case structure).

1. Use arrays instead of indvidual indicators.
2. Initialize an array of five FALSE elements, then cycle throuch each, replacing with TRUE depending on position.
3. I agree with Dennis that your control does not make a lot of sense.
4. If you need a case for other code, simply tap into the wire going to "numeric"

It will not repeat any cases if the 'Cases' knob is set to 0. It just keeps calling case 5 - the default case.

Also, if you want to be able to change the "Cases" knob during run, place the control terminal inside the while loop. (see also my example).
