Our team likes to say that the JKI State Machine is "the easiest way to create powerful, maintainable VIs in LabVIEW". We use this simple, yet powerful, state machine template nearly every day in our own LabVIEW applications, and we see the results. Still, it's great to hear customer feedback like the kind we received from Stefan Kaban the other day.

“I just wanted to say that your state machine is incredible. I am a beginner-to-midlevel Labview user, and I had wanted to implement state machines for a long time, but had no idea how to go about it without using C. I found your state machine last week, and using it I reduced the development time of an automated test rig from about a month down to one day. I was going to suggest putting up some more examples and tutorials, but I found the one tutorial was all I needed to figure out what was going on. Keep up the good work.”
It's awesome to hear that the JKI State Machine reduced a month's worth of work down to one day. And, I'll bet that Stefan's code will be easier to maintain in the long run, too, which will save even more time.
Stories like this are why we love to work hard creating great tools for LabVIEW. So, if you've tried the JKI State Machine and it's made a difference in your LabVIEW work, please send us your feedback.
