Labview project

really struggling with this project
using a case structure how do i monitor a heating system manually and automatically using temperatures from a demo VI?

In automatic mode the system will monitor the ambient temp and depending on the value will switch the heater on or not. the heater is switched on when the temp falls below the low temp setpoint. When the heater is switched on the system will add a value to the measured temp to show the temp rising, when the temp reaches the high temp setpoint the heater switches off.

In manual mode the heater will be on whenever the heater on/off switch is on. The system will monitor the heater on/off condition at all times.

The front panel should include:

- Indicators
AC on/off
Heater on/off
Manual or Automatic operation
current temperature reading
Historical temperature reading (Chart)

- Controls
AC on/off
Heater on/off
Manual or Automatic
Temperature setpoint control low- to switch heater on
Temperature setpoint control high- to switch heater off
-Coding

Use a case structure to control manual and automatic operation.
Use a case structure in decision making e.g. when deciding to switch heater on or off.
