Delay Generation - State Machine Demonstration using LabVIEW

[Aaron_E]

Overview

This VI displays the functionality of a state machine by controlling the execution of a code.  

Description

This VI is an example of how you can use the state machine architecture to control the code execution. This could be useful if you have some code that cannot be stopped for a certain amount of time since it has started. With the example attached there is a 5 second period from pressing start where you cannot immediately stop the VI.

This example only demonstrates a way of implementing the delay behavior. Making the interface user friendly is left up to the end user of the code.

Requirements

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Unzip the attached folder to your computer
2. Open the VI "Delay Generation NIVerified.vi"
3. Run the program
