Name: State Machine Follower Submitter: jcarmody Submitted: 19 Oct 2011 File Updated: 20 Oct 2011 Category: JKI Right-Click Framework Plugins LabVIEW Version: 2009 License Type: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 This JKI RCF Plugin sets the Visible Frame property of a Case Structure while the owning VI is running. Use it to follow the execution through the cases in your string-based State Machine/Sequencer when Execution Highlighting isn't fast enough (and, it's never fast enough). The use-case I wrote this to improve is setting a Breakpoint on the Error wire coming out of the main Case Structure and probing the Case Selector terminal so I can float-probe wires during execution. The problem with this is that I had to manually select the current frame every time. This is boring, so I developed this plugin to automatically set the Visible Frame to the case most recently executed. Use - Select the String wire connected to the main Case Structure's selector terminal, invoke the JKI RCF and select StateFollower. Special thanks to - AristosQueue, for his help over here. LabVIEW versions - tested in 2009 & 2011 - it should work in 2010 as well Installation - use VIPM to install the VI Package License - Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution (Really, do whatever you want.

This package will be available for download through VIPM in a few days and covers some new VIs donated by JKI. [NEW] 3426051 - Add new 'Filter Error Codes" API New Palette New Filter Error Codes VIs that support Scalar and Array Error Code inputs New smaller Clear Errors VI (compared to NI) with additional Merge Upstream Error functionality Kind regards Jonathon Green OpenG Manager I would also like to thank Ed Dickens for reviewing this package for release.

I'd also suggest that the OpenG Variant Configuration VIs are easier to use than the native ones. You can make a type-defined cluster and it's much easier to manage updates to your ini file.

Thanks - I always forget to check the NI forums... I'm disappointed blawson doesn't have a 2011 icon, I'd like them all to be a similar style. Guess it might be time to dust off Photoshop.

That has got to be among the most subtle settings I've (n)ever seen! I thought it might be new, but it was there in LV 8.6 as well! I am very dissapointed in myself for missing that So, we can use the native Format into String and Scan from String functions with a single format specifier string to create and convert a timestamp to an ISO-8601 UTC compliant string. Please excuse me now while I search eBay for a slightly used tantō...

Our team is driving extensibility of the LabVIEW platform, while focusing on growing the LabVIEW ecosystem. In the past three years we've release APIs such as VI Scripting, Project Provider, and more. We've also revamped the LabVIEW Tools Network and introduced a certification program for plug-ins, called Compatible with LabVIEW. We're looking for a Staff Engineer that can help take our program to the next level. Apply Now http://bit.ly/LabVIEWPartnerProgramOpening Thanks, Jeff Meisel LabVIEW Partner Program
