Thank you, Mikael, for linking to OpenGDS!  At the moment, I feel like I'm learning a new language.  Your video is extremely helpful.  Still, the ability to convert my current VIs to a state machine diagram is great!  I've been doing this by hand.

 

Thanks again!

What you could do is to start just using the Singleton Class template, sure it's based on OO, but you don't need to think of that, it's just like a action Engine, but instead of having everything in one VI, you can add several VIs (methods) to the Singleton library (lvlcass), and just because they belong to the same class they all share the same data.
You just have to learn how to use the IPE structure to read and modify the shared data.
