pedestrian walk button labview

[cristal.waje]

Hi,

      I am a beginner in using LabVIEW and I need help. I was given a hw to create a 4 way traffic light. I am using FSM. I completed the 4 way traffic light, however I am having trouble creating a logic for my pedestrian walk button. Basically like a normal traffic light when a person press the walk button the cycle of the traffic light should run faster to allow the pedestian to walk. I just need suggestions on how to implement this. Below is a file of what I have so far. (LabVIEW 2014) I would really appreciate the help. Thank you

Instead of having long delays in your states, have an idle state that checks for the button presses and another state that just checks the amount of time that has elapsed.  When the walk button is pressed, you can shorted the amount of time you are looking for before proceeding to the next light setup.

Hi,

      Here is what I did, I used a select block to locate the push button. but I dont understand how to check the amount of time? Can you check the changes that I made.

There is an Elapsed Time function.  That is the simplest way.
