Remove the stacked sequence structure from LabVIEW.

[L.H.]

Although my program is bad as you said but I guess it's good since I just started learning Labview three months ago and I hope it will be nicer.

Sorry for bothering you in my questions.

Hi LH,

Although my program is bad as you said but I guess it's good

All those "Why" questions point to problems in your VI. Solve those problems and maybe the program will run as you intend it to…

Sorry for bothering you in my questions.

It's not "bothering with questions", it's rather "not answering OUR questions" combined with "posting in wrong/old thread"!

You still didn't answer our question: WHAT IS NOT WORKING?

[L.H.]

Hi,

The butons are not working when I put the SSS.

I thought this is a place for asking questions instead of telling ideas.

I misundertood.

Any way, Thanks.

This is my vi without SSS

Try to only use the outer loop for everything.

All your inner loop code differs only by the value of a single diagram constant, so all that code could be combined into one that uses a tiny case structure depeding on the button that was pressed. Try it! Why duplicate all that code? If you need to make code changes, you currently would need to make identical changes in four different places, dramatically increasing the possibilities of mistakes.

Better,  But still.... having a instanteous timeout case (timeout = 0) and a half second delay in the same loop in relatively insane.

This may be why the user is pounding the mouse on the desk.  especially when (Drumroll........) there are while loops inside the events that run untill the user clicks the "Right" button to stop that loop 

Do look into the "Producer - Consumer (Events)" documentation.  your users will hate you less.

I just upgrading from an older version of LabView to find that Stacked Sequences are removed from LabView.  Although they can still be used for now, who knows for how long? This makes Labview a toy. I have a picture logic program that now limits the amount of code I can write in a case statement etc to the size of my screen. If I need more space to write code I need to call a Vi with the same single screen space restriction.  Without Stacked Sequences to write a reasonable amount of code will require me to make a DLL call etc to a real programming language.  Please put the Stacked Sequence back into Labview.  Forcing readability of code by crippling the development language is not the solution.

1. It was only removed from the palletes (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Move-Stacked-Sequences-from-the-Palette/idi-p/993039)

2. You should be using subVIs to make you code more modular and actually easier to read and debug.

You need to create a FLAT SEQUENCE STRUCTURE and then right-click on this and select the REPLACE WITH STACKED SEQUENCE item.  Go figure what the logic behind NI's thinking is ... but it doesn't make sense.  All it does is annoy, as it has managed to replace a single step process with a two step process.

[crossrulz]

The reasoning is to prevent the massive abuse that has been seen from the Stacked Sequence Structure.  They break proper data flow and they are rigid in execution.  Instead, you should be in the habit of using State Machines and/or subVIs.
