The way the LabVIEW data flow works is that nothing inside a programming structure (like a Case Statement or a While loop) will get executed until All the data inputs are present and accounted for.

By having outputs leave the Case statement and immediately come back in, the Case statement will wait for those inputs before starting...

Of course, the outputs won't occur before the Case statement executes either...

So the Case statement gets locked up waiting for itself to complete before it starts...

It's that thingy with the big arrow.
Normally, it is used to remember what a value was the last time it was executed. That way you can compare the last value with the current value.
