I used a stacked sequence today. So sue me.

Yes, any sequence local can spoil a perfectly good sequence. 🙂

(In 17 years of LabVIEW programming, I've only found a single instance where a stacked sequence was useful, and it did not involve any locals.)

Looks similar to some code i inherited. I made a small help-vi that extracts the Channel clusters and build them into an array, that way it's easy to look or index individual ones. 🙂

I'm trying to remember the last time I used a stacked sequence before this instance. It was in my noob days (>10 yrs ago). When I was whipping this up the stacked sequence seemed like a useful choice. After I wrote it I felt "dirty".

I've found quite a few instances of stacked sequences which were useful.  Mind you, they were all in order to show people why you shouldn't use them so yeah, they're not a common visitor to my block diagrams.

LOL!!

WHY???

If not a dirty patch to add some channels where only one was designed 😉

EDIT: 

so a dirty patch to get 3 Ch on a dirty patch to get 2Ch ? 😉    and never mind, for the cluster we have a type def everywhere ... (I hope!)

This stacked sequence was used mostly for real estate concerns on my block diagram. However, the functionality has expanded to where not only will the stacked sequence go away but the all of the code it contains will go into a sub-vi. "Problem" solved.

Sorry for causing a disturbance in the Force. 

But I would do it again.

LOL!!   The Force needs to be disturbed...  otherwise it becomes static (and useless)
