State Machine from Enum
link: QDKS - State Machine from Enum Author:Eric M.
I am kind of emo to post my first QD here. I figured this one would be of use for quite a bunch of developers.
Goal : Pretty much everyone uses state machines as this is a rather basic but efficient design pattern that can be mixed together with others DPs. Whichever the platform (RT, FPGA, Win), an application will most likely include a state machine (or more!).
First thing : create the enum that will describe the states of the machine. Yeah well, with this QDKS, that's roughly the only thing you will need to do.
How-To :
- Copy the attached QD VI to the usual directory.
- Configure its key (S is fine !)
- Select an enum terminal or constant in your BD. Make sure there is some free space at the right of the enum.
- Ctrl+Space Ctrl+Key. You've earned a state machine corresponding to the enum items.
Default Shortcut - [S]
