Hello Brian Beard,
I do not know, if my answer relate exactly to your problem.
I wanted to RESET a contol on the frontpanel.
So I tried it with a sequenz and the local variable of this control.
With the first step of the sequenz I set the control to the desired value.
In the second step I went on with the actual VI-code.
I hope that I was able to help you.
