Description

Communicable State Machine(CSM) is a LabVIEW application framework that builds upon JKI State Machine (JKISM). It follows the pattern of JKISM and extends the keywords to describe message communication between modules, including concepts such as Sync-Message, Async-Message, Subscription/Unsubscription of status - essential elements for creating reusable code modules. For more information, please visit the CSM wiki: https://github.com/NEVSTOP-LAB/Communicable-State-Machine/wiki
