No you posted pictures of your code. I can not fix pictures.

Here is my VI thats written in labview 7. There are additional sub VI thats not attached so the VI might show an error.

The inner small while loops is what im trying to update very second. When a button is pressed it sends that Individual string then jump back in to updating every second.

Why don't you use an event structure with the timeout event set to 1 second?Then, instead of the separate case statements, each would be a separate event.

You can also eliminate all of the writes to the value property node.

edit - your while loop iterates every msec - not every second as you stated.

So do i put the event structure inside of bigger while loop and keep the smaller while loop ? Sorry trying to figure out how to code what your sayin. I understand about putting the cluster buttons inside of its own event case.

An event structure goes inside a single while loop. There is no 'smaller' while loop. The code that you want to execute every second goes into the timeout event.

Thanks for your help that seem to work correctly!
