Abstract

The LabVIEW state diagram toolkit can be used to design and implement state machines within the LabVIEW development environment. The toolkit includes a state diagram editor so the user can draw the logic that defines the state machine. As this visual representation of the logic is created, the state diagram editor generates the LabVIEW code that executes the state machine. The logic is represented in code by a series of graphical while loops and case statements. The generated LabVIEW code can run on multiple operating systems and multiple real-time targets including NI programmable automation controller (PAC) platforms such as PXI/cPCI, CompactRIO, and Compact FieldPoint
