state machine vi problem

[Naqqash]

Hello Everyone,

    I am having a problem in the attached vi that it is not running continuously what might be the problem. Please check the vi and give some suggestion/help/advice i'll be thankful.

When you initialize your shift register, you're initializing it to "Stop".   Naturally, the first thing your loop does is stop.

Try initializing your shift register to "Initialize".

OH MY GOD what a silly mistake i've done how can I neglect this. Thanks alot.

Silly mistakes happen to everyone!  🙂  I've been guilty of them a time or two myself.  I think we all have.  At least it was easy to fix!

As an idea for the future -- using the "Highlight execution" tool would have enabled you to catch the problem very quickly.  (That's the little light bulb at the top of your block diagram, in case you aren't familiar with it.)  It can really be a useful thing.

Thanks for the advice yes i know about it but forget about it infact, the idea of using highlight execution did'nt come in my mind at that time but thanks anyway.
