Synchronous data in State Machine (Data Flow?)

[kepham]

Hello, I am using a state machine running with 3 parallel while loops (including the state machine), and am having trouble synchronizing the sampling loop random number when it hits the "acquire" state. I am currently using local variables, and tried using notifiers as well, but whenever the state machine goes to the acquire state, the PID loop and sampling loop freeze. I am trying to understand the data flow to make this synchronous, and parallel. Any ideas would be appreciated, thank you! The picture displays showed the frozen loops and what the acquire state retrieves...

You have to wire up the timeout to "Wait on Notification" in your Sampling Loop, otherwise that loop is going to freeze when you're not constantly sending notifications.
