counter increment and decrement in a while loop

I am having a little problem with a DAQ project that I am working on involving a counter in a case subvi
which exists in a while loop. The trigger for the counter is a boolean variable which remains true for x amount of time
while the signal is greater than a certain amount, however during this time the counter increments until it is false again. What I want it to do is increment it by +1
for this time and store this value so that it can be compared in other logic statemnts. Any advice.

Shaun,
If I understand - you want to count only once per True state (trigger). I attached a VI that compares the previous trigger state and previous count, and only adds 1 to the count when you get a new trigger.
Run it and simulate the trigger by toggling the trigger control.
Good luck with it, Doug

I have problem that i want counter to increment by 1 when switch case is true and when false same counter should  decrement by 1 from last incremented  value, again when true it should increment form last decremented value.so on can you provide code for that ,please 

thank you

(This seems only remotely related to this 12 year old thread. It is not the same A new thread would have been more appropriate.)

 

All you need is to keep your counter value in a shift register and use a case structure that has a decrement in one case and an increment in the other case.

 

See how far you get. What is the loop rate? I assume that the couter should keep incrementing or decrementing while the switch remains unchanged. Right?
