Description

The JKI State Machine is a template you can use for quickly creating your own LabVIEW applications. This is the very same template that is used by the JKI team, nearly every day, and is the result of years of refinement by our team of LabVIEW experts. We encourage you to post any questions or comments to the JKI Software Forums. There you will find an active community of JKI software users, as well as JKI team members.

How to use:

Find the JKI State Machine in the palettes
1) Functions >> JKI Toolkits >> JKI State Machine

Use QuickDrop to place a JKI State Machine on the block diagram
1) Press Control+Space then type "JKI"
2) choose the "JKI State Machine" option that appears

Launch the JKI State Machine Explorer by either
A) Right-click on a State String, Case Structure, or Event Structure to launch JKI SM Editor
B) Press Control+Space then Control+J when you're on the block diagram of a VI containing a JKI SM

Using the Right-click menu on the JKI SM Parts for increased productivity:
- Select an item in the tree to make that frame visible
- Click back and forward to navigate the history
- Drag and drop frames to reorganize the order
- Right-click on items in the tree-view to rename, duplicate, delete, etc.
- Right-click on a state string and choose Goto State Frame to jump to that frame of the JKI SM.
- Right click on a state string or frame and choose Find Callers to find all callers of a state
- Right-click on a bundle or unbundle by name and choose Find Data Accessors to find all accessors of the data.

Special thanks to Jim Carmody for open sourcing his CaseSelect tool as a launching off point for the JKI SM Editor.

Release Notes

2024.0.1.13 (Oct 23, 2024)

What's New in JKI State Machine 2024

This is a major new release with a focus on a few significant improvements:

1. New State Enqueuing VIs:, to make it easier to conditionally enqueue states based on boolean logic and periodic timing (in a way that produces readable code).
2. Improved Error Handling: to include information about the state where the error occurred as well as clear (or handling) "warnings" (non-zero `error code` but `status` is False).
3. Upgrading source code to LV2020: to make it easier for community members to contribute and for the development team to take advantage of newer LabVIEW features.

There are also some other nice improvements to the template and misc fixes.

Updates to JKI State Machine Editor.

Known Issues:
In LabVIEW 2024, changes to how right-click menu references are handled have caused the JKI State Machine Helper utilities to be inaccessible via the right-click menu. However, you can still access the JKI State Machine Helper using the Ctrl+J Quick Drop shortcut. JKI is working with NI to restore full support as soon as possible. Other LabVIEW versions remain unaffected.
