I need help making a good loop to check if a signal is on or off and display on a 2x3 monitor
i have the signal part but need help with the loop and how to show on monitor without running the monitor program.

You mean a redstone signal?
This should work:
local sSide = "left" -- the side the monitor is on
-- check if monitor is present
if peripheral.isPresent(sSide) and peripheral.getType(sSide) == "monitor" then
-- redirect terminal output to the monitor
term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(sSide))
else
-- no monitor, exit
print("No monitor found")
return
end
-- loop
while true do
-- print here
-- if you want to exit the program, use break to stop the loop
-- wait for redstone change
os.pullEvent("redstone")
end
-- restore terminal output
term.restore()

local monitorSide = "left" -- the side the monitor is on
local cableSide = "back" -- the side the bundled cable is on
-- check if monitor is present
if peripheral.isPresent(monitorSide) and peripheral.getType(monitorSide) == "monitor" then
-- redirect terminal output to the monitor
term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(monitorSide))
else
-- no monitor, exit
print("No monitor found")
return
end
local function clear()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
end
-- loop
while true do
-- clear screen
clear()
-- test each input
write("MFSU#1: ")
if rs.testBundledInput(cableSide, colors.red) then
print("Empty")
else
print("Not Empty")
end
write("MFSU#2: ")
if rs.testBundledInput(cableSide, colors.green) then
print("Full")
else
print("Not Full")
end
-- wait for redstone change
os.pullEvent("redstone")
end
-- restore terminal output
term.restore()
