ok, i think i figured out a way to save the last value of an indicator and
have that value available when the subVI is run again.
simply create a for loop with a hard-coded count of 1 in the subVI, add a
shift register to the loop. pass the value of the indicator to the right
register and when when the subVI runs again it will pass the previously held
value in the left register, which can then be used by the next run.
that seemed to work very well.
