Button Controlled Ring Enumerated String

[Kamilan]

Hey guys,

Is there a better way to do this in the attached VI.

I think I want to build a state machine but I am not sure if I want to do this because I don't fully understand how to use the queue and how to implement it properly.

As you can see, I have a cluster of boolean buttons to go on my main front panel. They change the ring enum and it outputs a hex command to a micro.

Is there a better way then having 13 case statements?

Cheers

Kamilan

Hi Kamilan,

You code can be better done using an event structure and a while loop. No need to use a state machine if the total number of values in the ring control is known. Kindly have a look at the attached vi. Let me know if you have any further doubts.

Warm Regards,

Thank you for the code. And more importantly the comments.

I had no idea thats how the event structures can be used.

Thanks so much!
