Why is it a nightmare? Is it becuase it does not look pretty? I am in my 3rd week of learning LV. This code works though. The ideas are mine.
Has nothing to do with looking pretty. It's a bad practice.
To repeat myself, this is why you should use a state machine instead of stacked structures:
Some of the benefits are:
Maintainability: code easier to read and easier to debug. it is possible to "see" what values are actually passed to & from each state. You can use shift registers to "store" values. You can wire left to right. You can use the error cluster easily.
Scalability: you can add more functionality which may not be restricted by a static sequence of events (as compared to the stacked structure). You can use TypeDef controls which allow you to add more states easily.
Structure: you can return to certain states by defining the state transition.
to name a few!!
Maybe your code works today, but it may not tomorrow. We're trying to save you some anguish.. But it's your choice..
