sequence structure replacement

[idjuven1]

thanks!

The rest could probably be removed if you used the Error Cluster to force sequential execution like you are supposed to do.

this does not make sense to me.. do you have an example?

have a nice weekend

Have a look at this NI newsletter.  It covers the overuse of stacked and sequence frame structures and how to replace them.

Here's an example...

 

The error cluster forces sequential execution because of DATA FLOW!

Even one SSS or FSS is overuse...

I  (mildly) disagree -- one sometimes needs to "tie" a Timing function (such as Wait, or Clock Read) to a specific point in the code, often between two functions connected by an Error Line.  "Wrapping" the Time function in a single Frame Sequence and forcing the Error Wire to "tunnel" at least into the Frame is an "obvious" and "intuitive" way to say "Do this now".

Sure, but a sub VI would be a better option. Or a case structure, so the wait is skipped when there is an error. I use them (rarely), but usually they get refactored out sooner or later.

Agree 100%.  My "Delay (ms)" function follows me around "like a little puppy" (quick, who says that?).

Even that google will find (first hit at the moment).

Not really needed now since LabVIEW 2017 with the introduction of the Stall Data Flow.vim.
