Generating Code for a Statechart (Statechart Module)

After you build a statechart, click the Generate Code button , which is located on the toolbar of the Statechart Editor window to generate the code that corresponds to the statechart. You then use a Run Statechart function to execute this code in a VI.

Note  If you add code to a previously empty guard or action, or if you delete all code from a guard or action, you must re-generate code for the statechart. If you modify an existing, non-empty guard or action, you do not need to re-generate code for the statechart.

If this button appears broken , the statechart code has errors. Clicking this button displays the errors.

If this button appears dimmed , the generated code already is usable. You do not need to generate code for the statechart.

Note  You also can generate code for the statechart by right-clicking the .lvsc file in the Project Explorer window and selecting Generate Code from the shortcut menu.
