how would I post the code instead of these screenshots then?

Just zip it (in Windows explorer, right click on the folder or file you want to compress and Sent To->Compressed (zipped) Folder or file.

Then upload the zipped file or folder.

Alright, well, my team decided to try and clean up/clean out our old code, with a heavy emphasis on following the LabVIEW examples that we were provided with. With that said...

The first thing that I notice is that you are using Controls to specify which channels you are using. You should right click these and Change to Constant because otherwise they will revert to the default value of the control when you deploy a stand alone executable and reboot.

Other than that I don't see functional problems with the code.

Aesthetically you should separate your subVIs on the diagram so it's clear where the wires are going. You want to expose all the wires and try not to cover any of the wires up when possible.

Are you still having functional difficulties?

Hey, I was looking at the pictures of coding from the attachments, and I was wondering, how do you get the status thing coming from the compressor enabled vi's error out, and how do you get the TF status things that aren't selecting true or false like the others. Sorry if this sounds somewhat stupid, but it's over my head.

The status is using Unbundle by Name to pull the status Boolean out of the error cluster. You can access it in programming -> Cluster, Class, & Variant -> Unbundle by Name.

I think you're referring to the indicators. You can right click on any output on the block diagram and choose create -> indicator, which will create an indicator of the correct type on the front panel. You could also make an indicator on the front panel, and then wire it on the block diagram, for example, using a round LED. A Boolean indicator will normally have a picture of an LED on the front panel, but if you right click on it and unselect view as icon, it will use the same type of picture as the screen shots above.

Is the indicator on the "or" icon that has the arrow and green fill on the false side from the x input or x or y output?
