Lesson 10 - Using Sequential and State-Based Designs

The document discusses using sequential and state-based programming in LabVIEW. It covers using sequential programming with flow-through parameters, sequence structures, and error case structures. State programming is also covered using state transition diagrams to change the order or repetition of sequences based on conditions. State machines are described as useful for sequential or UI-driven processes. The document provides an example of a weather station project using a state machine design pattern.

Why Use State Programming?


• Change the order of a sequence
• Repeat an item in sequence more often than others

State Transition Diagram

State—Part of a program that satisfies a


condition, performs an action, or waits for
an event

Transition—Condition, action, or event that


causes the program to move to the next
state
