Hello, I have this LabVIEW program that generates numbers through measurements and such. I want to initialize the indicators at the beginning of each run of the program back to 0 so the user does not become confused with the old values vs. the new ones. How do I initialize the values back to 0?

You have to have a frame that writes constant zero to the values, then have the next frame run your program logic. I forget the Labview name for that, but it''s the thing that looks like a roll of movie film. I generally had 3 frames for every program: setup, run, teardown.

Ahh I think it''s Sequence, you need a create a local variable (right click the indicator) and wire it in the first frame of the sequence as Stoffel said.
