reseting while loop indicator

I have a VI which counts iterations of a while loop when executing by wiring an indicator to the increment counter in the whil loop (the standard method).

What i want to do now is to reset the count when i flip a switch on the front panel without interupting the while loop, i.e. on the next iteration to the one i flip the switch the loop still executes but the count is reset at 0.

Any ideas??

Ross,
You can't reset the Iteration counter if you want to keep the while loop running; however, you can make your own resettable counter. See attached.

I would use a shift register to hold your counter.
