Help with sequential testing

[Collin.Fischels]

Hello,

I am trying to create a test that uses Labview to interface with an arduino that turns on and off relays. The example code I have included is what i want it to do, but it uses a lot of local variables. I was wondering if someone has a better idea on what to do. If possible I would like to be able to reset all of the indicators and controls back to default state at the beginning of a test (I wasn't able to figure out how to do that). 

(I am just using constants to prove my point so I didn't put the Arduino (LINX) sub vi's in the code)

Thanks.

I can't look at your code, but what you described indicates that you need to learn to use shift registers to hold your current state.

I wonder why you cant see the code. Anyway the way I have it set up I cant use shift registers because the controls are not the same for each state. Or maybe there is but I am not seeing it. I'll reattach the code maybe it will work this time.

The reason what that I was on my phone at the time.

Now that I reread everything here 5 times, I'm pretty sure what you really need to do is implement a State Machine.

I can seen your code, I guess now I can't unsee it...

There is no loop? Don't tell me you run this by using the Continuous Run button!

Here is a couple resources to get you started

No I am not using the continuous run button. I know the basics of Labview.

Sorry, when I see such heavy use of flat sequences my first instinct is to direct people to review LabVIEW basics .

Problem is I have tried to do this with a state machine and I am unable to get it to work like how I have it with the sequences. Trust me I don't want to use the sequences just cant seem to get the case structures and event structures to do what I want.
