Hey everyone,

I'm working on a LabVIEW project and need some help understanding how to implement it properly using a state machine design pattern.

📌 Task Description:

I need to design and implement a simple VI that:

• Prompts the user for:

  • Name

  • Radius

• Then plots a circle with the given radius on an XY Graph.

• The VI should have:

  • A Start button to begin the sequence

  • A Stop button to exit

💡 Functional Requirements:

• The VI should idle initially, waiting for either Start or Stop.

• Once Start is clicked:

  • Prompt for Name and Radius.

  • Plot the circle using the radius on XY Graph.

• Use a state machine design pattern to structure the VI.

Has anyone done something similar? Any tips, example VIs, or suggestions on how to structure the states would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance! 😊
