I've done that myself.  It works well for sequenced tasks.  The thing to set this apart from the SSS is to make it so that the loop is stopable (use the Conditional Terminal).

If a stacked sequence is a good thing, a stack of stacked sequences must be even better 😮

(Fortunately, we can use local variables to avoid all these wires 🙂 Doh!)

I use that as my go to  initialisation sequence method.  Scalable, can use an array of type def'd constants and maintain state with shift registers!!.

I suppose I could use a dynamically launched asynchronous process with messages and all corner cases under the sun covered including EMP blackout to initialise a VI but I consider this a bit "Wordy"

I can easily imagine someone on the prepper forums mentioning something that sounds like "state machine" or "action engine" or "in place" and then having Ben automatically reply with a long post with links to various nuggets and posts by Greg McK. 😉

[craigc]

I have read those posts and they are all very good nuggets!!

Oh EPIC FAIL!  The neighbors Dish TV satalite antenna seen at 1:18 was not used.
