display proceeding statechart

[BigBadWolf]

Hey,

I'm using the statechart module of labview 8.5.

Does anybody know if there is a way to display a proceeding statechart in subpanel (or something similar) of the caller VI.

Thanks

Hi Volker,

What exactly do you mean by displaying a proceeding statechart? Do you mean a picture of the states the statechart is currently in?

If so, there is not currently an automatic way to do this. You can keep track of what states you are in in your Outputs.ctl and use this to form a picture, but that is a fairly manual process.

If you have debugging enabled on your statechart and are running on the desktop, you can right click on the Run Statechart node and choose to debug the statechart. If you press the lightbulb icon (highlight execution), you will be able to watch as the statechart enters and exits states, performs static reactions, and takes transitions.

Thanks,
Nick

that's what i had in mind.

I'm working on a project that needs to execute different test procedure that are given in uml. I thought it would be nice to visualize those test procedures to the operator without creating them twice, the statechart itself and using the output signals. But thanks for letting me know that there isn't a way, thats valuable information to me.
