LabVIEW
Test steps for state machine
An alternate, but slightly more advanced approach would be to use a Factory Pattern to generate objects from an INI file. I've been using those objects to represent my states and to select what state to use through the command pattern.
Personally, I would find that easier to follow than all the string to enum conversions. But if you aren't familiar with LVOOP there would be a bit of a learning curve 
It is always interesting to learn new things about Labview, but unfortunately, I don't have enough time 
Yeah, that's understandable. Maybe at least read about those thigns and chew on them so you can implement them when you hopefully have more time.
