initialize control values ​​during execution with the state machine

[ameletudiante99]

Hi,

how I can program my state machine to initialize controls in my program when the program is running because it only takes the value it had before I ran my program

thanks in advance

Create an "init controls" state and do whatever you need to do in this state…

Do you use a (typedefined) cluster in a shift register to hold statemachine-internal data: you better initialize this cluster instead of some controls on your frontpanel…

Hi

how I can do this; in my state machine, I have enums and controls, and I need to initialize all of this and I also need to display messages depending on the choice to use. I do how in this case, when I puts everything in the cluster I can no longer define the choice of each enum to display the messages,?

I can't send data outside the state machine?

You can change anything inside the cluster in each state.

You can change indicator data inside or after each state.

I don't know why you cannot do this in your VI…

Sure you can send data "outside the sate machine" to other loops/VIs…

Hi

Do you have an example of how I've ever worked on this?

when I put my control in a cluster it disappears from all the places where I call it, not only in the state machine?

I don't know how to resolve this problem?

How about uploading your VI for us to see?

I didn't mention to place the control into a cluster, I wrote/asked to use a cluster to handle statemachine-internal data. One cluster to bundle them all, and you can write data from your control into this cluster…

Hi,

You should take a look at this : Arrays and Clusters in LabVIEW.
