resetting indicators

Hi
I have a sequence structure within a loop. I wish to illuminate a series of boolean indicators to show progression through the sequence. It would be nice if each went off when the locus of control moved out of the particular frame, but I would make do with starting each iteration of the loop with them all off. There's probably an easy answer but I just can't see it.
Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,

you can use a property node to change the value. Or you create a reference of your indicator, necessary if you will set the value in an other vi.

I you have the flexibility, you could use a case statement instead of a sequence structure to create a simply state machine.  You could use the index to move you through each state and use a boolean array to indicate the status.  The index of the loop would index which boolean in the array is active.

The attached screenshot should give you an idea.

Hi
Thank you Both for the guidance; two different slants on the problem. The property node (which I haven't used before) answer fits the bill exactly.
regards
Graham
