even structure function

[LW42]

Hello,

I need some help handling an event structure issue. Please take a look at the vi attached. Could somebody please explain to me why the numeric indicator shows only the very first value and then seems like has been stacked unless the pump boolean turns on? I know that the event structure waits for an event to occur but i thought that the event case created for the pump boolean has to do with events related to the specific boolean. I can't understand why the the numeric value is updated when I change the value of the pump boolean. Please take into consideration that I need to modify a preexisting and really complicated vi and I don’t want to make crucial modifications (e.g move an input inside an event case in event structure etc.) and also that I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1.

Thank you in advance

Wire a value to the timeout terminal.

Sorry, but do you mean what I did in the attached vi. Unfortunately, didn't help.

Thank you

It would if you entered a positive time value. No such thing as negative time.

Thank you very much for the help.

Have a nice weekend

Just to elaborate a bit on Dennis' comment about negative time: A value of -1 is the default value and indicates that the node should never timeout.  This is in the help file.  It does not specify there, but I think I read somewhere that any negative value is a "no timeout" value.
