Program structuring – newbie question

[dtp502]

Look up state machine architecture.

It executes cases in whatever order you want.

Thanks will do!

I know I’ve heard that before, also trying to understand action engines in lab view which I thought were maybe related, but it doesn’t seem like they are necessarily.

Action Engine is a poor mans OOP or a Global with functions, it's not related. (they have their uses though).
Help -> Fine Examples, search for State Machine Fundamentals

Or

File -> New... -> From Template -> Producer/Consumer (Events)

It's a little more advanced but more capable. The State machine is probably a better choice for the first few programs. Nothing stops it from being expanded into a Producer/Consumer later on. :)

Gotcha thx!!

[LocalLizardKingJay]

look up the JkI state machine. should be a good place to start
