What have you tried? Have you looked at examples? All you have to do is evaluate you conditions and turn on lights. It is actually very easy to do in LabVIEW.

I've seen stack lights used all the time.  Some were serial or network devices that you send a command to, to operate, and some took discrete digital lines.  One thing we learned quickly, is that blinking the lights weren't a good idea for the operating time.  These were probably incandescent lights and we had thought a plan like Solid Green meant a test is ready to be ran, and Flashing Green was a test was in progress.  We ran some several day tests were it would blink all the time.  Burned up the lights quickly and we re-evaluated the lighting scheme.

Oh and OP if you haven't figured it out yet tons more information is needed to get a useful answer.
