Hi Tom,

Just for my education purpose,  I'd like to understand the difference
between the "begin" & "end" control boxes at the "Front Panel" window.
Although they look identical, they must be different since they failed to
wire to the blocks next to them once  I switched them at the block diagram
window (the program window).

--thanks

(...) In a LabVIEW program (vi) there is a front panel and a block diagram. The front panel is the user interface and contains both controls and indicators.
