Controlling LED by increment & Decrement in the Process time

[MCTAB]

Hello, I have a task assigned to me, and I'm facing challenges with the increment and decrement operations using the UP and DN buttons in my LabVIEW VI. Currently, only the increment operation is functioning.

Additionally, I'm seeking guidance on how to link the Stroke Length value with a delay function in my VI. I want to ensure that both the increment and decrement operations work seamlessly, and that the Stroke Length value accurately controls the duration of the delay function. Any assistance or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Task:

• (You are supposed to design a front panel for a system which consist of five components shown in figure. Once the operator presses Stroke button the hammer is down for a specific duration already set by operator and being indicated in Stroke Length in seconds. During a stroke, Stroke button will not take any effect. Operation Status LED indicates if the hammer/machine is in operation right now. Operator can vary the Stroke Length (sec) by pressing the UP and DN buttons to an increased or decreased value. UP and DN would be working during the stroke as well)

Hi MCTAB,

usually we don't solve your homework for you.

But we are happy to assist in solving it - once you show some effort on your own!

So what have you tried and where are you stuck?

Dear GerdW,

I wanted to express my sincere thanks for your guidance.
The problem has been fixed. My instructor gives a brief explanation of the key goals and technical requirements needed to finish this task successfully.

warmest regards.

No, just no!!!

Two greedy loops and all data bounced around via local variables talking to themselves is not reasonable code. Race conditions everywhere! "AND FALSE: is always false, so the loop on the right can never stop. The loop on the left has the conditional terminal not even connected. Beside, we can't even see what is the other cases of the case structures or determine the mechanical actions of the buttons.

As we can see from the run button, the code is broken anyway.

If you want help, attach your VI, not a picture.

i am trying to create a code where i need to increase or decrease the set time (as constant named operater timer) with UP/DOWN push botton during the stroke button pressed and even before pressing the stroke button

incredibly impressive work;
I completed it by using the technique that is attached to this message.

No, not impressive at all and completely wrong!!!! Full of race conditions and completely meaningless code! Also note that the values are milliseconds, not seconds.

See if this can give you some ideas! No local variables! One loop!
