Hello, Need help with myRIO basics

[MUB0346HAA]

Hi, I am new to the myRIO. I need help understanding why most of the sample code/program use a flat sequance for myRIO?

Flat Sequence Structures are often needed in the FPGA in order to force execution order (there are less things to force data flow in the FPGA) and you are more worried about how much hardware space you are using.  I cannot speak for the Windows and RT sides.  Those should probably be state machines.  But since the myRIO was geared towards academics, the FSS was probably used as a simpler example to get students started.

So I need the FFS when I am programming the FPGA? what about when I want to just do simple digital/analogue I/Os ?
