attribute and the

indicator are updated only when the changed? output of the Read Tag
Alarm VI is TRUE. This example demonstrates how you might use the
changed? output. In this example, it is not important to use the Case
structure because BridgeVIEW indicators update only when the displayed
information actually changes.

If you use a large number of indicators or attribute nodes or more complex
indicators such as tables and graphs, updating the indicator when changed
by using a Case structure in your diagram can improve the display
performance of your VI.
