In this last link, It is explained just almost the same way as I adviced you in my previous link, you can use a typedef cluster in a shift register your your state machine: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Clusters-in-state-machine/m-p/1330044/highlight/true#M541821
Edit2: an example of a simple single loop state machine with Events: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Clusters-in-state-machine/m-p/1330060/highlight/true#M541822

Well, you could look at my earlier post to this question. This is a Cluster of 5 Arrays. The first is an Array of 16 Booleans (representing the bits of a 16-bit DIO Register). It has a Label of "Lasers", not visible, and a visible Caption of "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F O I P H" to label some of the individual bits (Laser 1-9, Fixation, Outer, Inner, and Head). The point is, with a Cluster you can group and design (and Label) the individual Boolean Digits (a.k.a. "Bits") and keep them grouped and yet still individually accessible.
