@GRCK5000 --
Your title is wrong! You don't need "Code modification", you need to simply read (tutorial material, LabVIEW books, though I don't have one in mind to recommend, the training material mentioned at the beginning of this Forum), pay attention to what you read, don't skip, do simple things before doing complicated things, and PLAN.
Consider the statement of your Problem. Turn LED On (for 1 second), then off (for 9 seconds). You don't say, but presumably "and repeat until I push the Stop button".
OK. A Quiz:
- How do you turn an LED On? How do you wait for 1 second after you turn the LED On?
- How do you turn an LED Off? How do you wait for 9 seconds after you turn the LED Off?
- Suppose that was all you wanted to do -- turn on for 1 second and turn off for 9 seconds, then stop the program. How would you do that?
- [Hmm -- I just simplified the code that I wrote to do this, because I left out the first two steps. You can learn something by going slowly and methodically!]
- OK, now how do you do something over-and-over again until it is time to stop?
Write these steps down "in your head", but do not put them on a Block Diagram (yet). Open LabVIEW. Open the Timing Palette. Do you see a function (maybe in the upper-right corner) called "Stall Data Flow.vim"? Read the Detailed Help associated with this function.
I am deliberately NOT including the (almost trivial) code that I wrote. Please indulge me and take the simple Quiz I provided to you -- it will, I hope, get you to start thinking "WHAT do I want to do", instead of "How can I use the limited things that I have learned, without considering if they are appropriate to my problem, but can make a very involved VI that convinces people I know what I'm doing". Good LabVIEW code is often Simple LabVIEW code.

P.S. -- I'll post my VI in a day or so, unless you follow my suggestion to "take the quiz" and figure out the Much Better Way (IMHO) to solve your problem yourself.
