Timing probe for the State Machine Toolki

[TonP]

For debugging a VI with the state machine toolkit I wrote a quick probe that lists the longest time for every state sorts the results to detect 'slow' states:

 

 

Here is a screenshot of the actual code:

 

Drop this probe on the the inpute wire of the state selector:

 

 

Have fun,

Very nice Ton, thanks for that, I intend to use it today.

One thing to look out for is that after restarting the VI, the timing should be resetted.

ah, I cannot easily save it for LabVIEW 8.2.1 as I hoped because of the feedback nodes.

 

If you get time could you post a 8.2.1 version, I may try and look at changing it myself if I get time later

 

 

cheers

This is pretty cool!

 

I would suggest that this VI not include its own execution time in the calculation.

 

The ms timer value that gets stored in the shift register (feedback node) should be obtained by a second ms timer value taken after all this VIs calculations and UI updates are complete.
