Flow chart ...from Vi hierarchy??

I know I've gone about this the wrong way...probably item #1 in the top ten things not to do when programming but... (I'm not a software engineer, have you guessed?)
I have a fairly complex state machine vi developed and deployed and I don't have a flow chart for it. As I have been solely working on it I know what everything does and how it works, but I need to have an overview for the non-geeks out there, who will be using the standalone version.
Is there a way of generating a flow chart from the VI-hierarchy?
or what is the best way about developing the flow chart (not from the very beginning..)

There is nothing automatic.
Provided it is not based on a QSM construct (this design pattern can allow transitions that are impossible to fully document...) it can be done by hand using your favorite flow diagram software (don't wince but I have been using paint and PP for this for so long that I know all of the short-cuts and can do it fast).
i have recieved code developed by other groups and drwaing up the state diagram was the first step in estimating what would be required to start supporting it.
This thread is from some years ago on a similar topic and may be of use.
Am I safe in assuming that you have learned your leason to "Design first, document second", or do you want a lecture?

How to generate Flow Chart from Program Source Code easily and automatically.

It is very crucial to have a clear mind when faced with abstract codes for software engineers and program developers. As always, the programmers have had an overall structure in your mind and then process the design with source code. The structure can somehow be so complex that it becomes hard to cope with gradually. More often than not, you will get stuck when you process to some extent. However, codes can’t speak and present themselves in a straightforward way. You are eager to find out a straightforward layout to transfer those abstract codes to visible flowchart, aren’t you? Do you know there's code to flowchart software tools online? This tool can help you make a flowchart from source code automatically, here I will introduce you a great code to flowchart converter software.
Code Flowchart Creator is professional source code to flowchart software tool. This software is designed for programmers or document writers, and its main function is to generate flow chart from source code such as C, C++, VC++ (Visual C++ .NET) and Delphi (Object Pascal) programming files. It helps users to understand complex program structures by visual diagrams. When users are editing the source code, it can make a flowchart or NS chart according to that code, the source code will be analyzed to build a visible flowchart that can help users get familiar with the process of the program. The created flowchart can be exported as Visio/Word/BMP files. And it works well on all Windows OS, especially on Windows 7.
Below is simple guide on how to use the Flowchart Converter. Step 1: Free download the setup file on official website: http://www.flowchart-creator.com Step 2: Install it on PC and startup the Flowchart Creator Step 3: Open a source code file and it will automatically generate the Flow Chart on right Window. Actually, the Flowchart Creator is very easy to use even without any experience. If you want to get more details and advanced setting, please visit the website to get tech info and support. Moreover, it also provides users with browsing and navigation functions. Those functions will facilitate the process of programmer and come to great help to both senior and junior programmers. The generated flowchart can be used to review source code. It will help examine the whole process of a program and check where errors exist when users are verifying source codes. You will never be worried about the complex program structure with the powerful code to flowchart creator tool.

Dear Chuck,
I have used Google and other search engines intensively since years. What I need (and this is why I've opened this thread actually) is a suggestion for a product from someone that has already used it. That could also save me time instead of searching, installing, trying, and eventually deinstalling at random. After all, the forum should allow to exchange knowledge and experience with people having similar interests.

Flow chart from Java source code?

Can anyone please tell me whether there is a tool/plugin to generate a structured flow chart (preferably based on UML) from the source code of a Java program?

How to make a form from a flow chart.

I want to make a flow chart into a form for a website. For example, I have a flow chart that leads to various solutions based on yes/no answers. I want the user to be able to enter in yes or no, and be directed to further questions or answers based on the answers they provide. Is there an easy way to approach this? Perhaps a form is not the best method?

Ajax (Javascript) would have an edge over PHP in regards to responsiveness. The best solution might combine all three methods (PHP, Javascript, HTML).
Are the responses going to be stored in a database? If so then you can also use the database to store the questions, complete with form fields.
One big difference between javascript and PHP is that PHP does nothing until you either open a new page or hit submit, and then it runs in a linear fashion until it reaches the end of the script. Javascript, on the other hand, can respond to other "events" that take place, such as when the user clicks away from a form field. With the advent of html5, HTML now has a little of the responsiveness of javascript.
PHP is the tool you use for processing form data and interacting with the database, if each form response is followed by a complete PHP processing cycle, the form will seem sluggish to the user. There are two solutions to this:
Have the user respond to a group of questions, then hit submit. The occasional lag for page reload won't bother the user.
Use AJAX to interact with the PHP form processing behind the scenes.
So yes, you can have one page that responds and changes depending on user input. PHP, javascript and HTML5/CSS3 can all be part of this. The specific way you build your solution will depend on your specific form progress and what technologies you are most comfortable with. For instance, my strong case is PHP, so I let it do as much of the work as possible, but I know coders who do much of what I would do in PHP with javascript, because that's what they are most comfortable using.
Any resources on how I might be able to do this via PHP?

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

Is there some type of state chart or flow chart which describes the process model order of execution?

One of my customers asked me this question...
I'm have an issue with a change in the execution order in TestStand 4.1.1. [he has upgraded from 3.1 to 4.1.1] It looks like ProcessModelPreStep runs earlier in 4.1.1 than it does in 3.1. This causes our model to error out because some required variables haven't been defined when it runs. I wish there was a big flow chart or state diagram for TestStand. Maybe there is and I don't know where to look?

Starting with TS 4.1, there is a flow diagram that can be displayed for a selected sequence...
Select "View -> Sequence File -> Display File Hierarchy"
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Dear James,
Process Flow:
1)Determination of Requirements: Through MRP, purchase requisitions
2)Source Determination: helps you identify potential sources of supply, creating requests for quotation (RFQs
3) Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations: The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios
4) Purchase Order Processing: information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. scheduling agreements and contracts are also supported.
5) Purchase Order Follow-Up: The system checks the reminder periods you have specified. up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6) Goods Receiving and Inventory Management: Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number
7) Invoice Verification: The system supports the checking and matching of invoices, and clearing invoices for payment.
Flow Chart for PO & MM process :
RFQ (ME 41) --> Maintain Quotation ( ME 47) -> Price comparision ( ME 49)>
-->Create PR ( ME 51 N) --> Create PO ( ME 21N) --->
> Good Receipt wrt PO( MIGO)> Invoice Verification wrt PO ( MIRO)
I hope this will suffice your need & if satisfied please reward points,

Flow chart builder in JSP

we have a requirement like this :
We have to create a flow chart diagram like on JSP load I have to show start and end cubes.Then after that under start i can create another cube showing some information and like wise the chart will carry grow and ultimately it will end before the end cube.I have to show that chart in jsp and also capture all the data in the database so that it can shown once more .Let me know how can i achieve that

First off, put JSPs to the back of your mind. JSPs are for wrapping HTML around some data values. If you need to show generated graphics JSP will play a very minor role.
When designing an application I typically approach from each end. What will the user see? Work out some steps the user will take to build his chart. This is the front end.
Then consider the back end. How will your diagrams be stored, and on what kind of storage. You'll probably want a database to store them. What kind of structures? Then you work inwards to join the front end to the back end.
Nobody here is going to design or build this application for you, designing and building applications is what we do for a living. If you want someone to do the job for you you want the rent-a-code site.

WORK Flow Chart Question/problem

Hi
I am kind a lost and looking for some pointers what to do with my problem.
Background
I have this flow chart which works fine. What it does is any change on the salary over the basic pay for that employee triggers and emails an approval email to the manager. The manager can approve/deny it, forward it to upper level or if he is absent from work the flow chart automatically picks up the next level person and sends him/her the mail for approval.
I have a report which shows which employees have locked salary (waiting for approval), who got approve and so on.
Problem
I need to show who approved it. This data is not saved on a table (I think) as the other information. But if I see the workflow log it shows the agent that approved it.
Now how can I get the agents name from that log or where should I start to look for the solution.
Thanks in advance and I always award points

Hi Wasim,
Such tables can be maintained through customizing. You can go to transaction SPRO to do customozing. Usually basis team do this. You being a developer may not have authorizations for this.

Signal flow chart for using DIO on 5640R

Hi,
There are a bunch of good templates to get me started with analog I/O but not for digital I/O. My project needs the host to send out a value through digital lines @10MHz. Now I have a few basic questions regarding the standard procedures to work with DIO?
1. what are the essential items in the signal flow chart on host? Open session->configuration->write->initialization->close session?
2. What are the differences of opening a session using FPGA VI Reference.vi and 5640 init Generation Session.vi? They are not interchangable.
3. Do I have to use a FIFO to transfer data between FPGA and host in this case?
At last, I highly recommend ni group to create a working template for DIO. If easy modification to analog I/O template can work for DIO, please show to how, that'll be great.
Thank you.
Dan

Hi Dan,
The basic flow of programming on the Host for digital output would be similar to:
Open FPGA Reference >> Configuration (as needed) >> Write to FPGA >> Close session
You could use a FIFO to pass data between the host and the FPGA or you could just pass data via controls and indicators. I have included an example project which passes data from the host to a control on the FPGA VI. If you are transferring the data as a 32-bit unsigned integer then you will need to manually format and control the way it is output from the FPGA VI. There is not a pre-made function to do that.
As for testing, you can manually probe the pins on a connector with a DMM. Here is the pinout for the AUX connector.

Created a flow chart and now cant' edit

I created this flow chart and now it just acts like a regular object and I cant edit it anymore.

Welcome to the forum!
Was the chart copied from some other application? Were all the elements grouped (under the Arrange menu, is Group greyed out)? Is it perhaps locked (are the control handles Xs instead of boxes)?

Will Flash CS5 make a flow chart of my AS2 app?

Hi -
This is really a question about whether or not Flash CS5 has a feature that would make my current task easier.
I built a Flash8/AS2 application a few years ago that had quite a complex structure for a novice like me. The app starts with a Splash screen that gives the user 2 basic choices, one of which leads to a navigation menu movie clip which leads to 52 informational videos, and just about as many getURL's to forms at the customer's site. Each video is in a "container" movie clip that also has buttons leading to other mcs with more static information.
It's a very dense tree!
Now my customer is asking for a "Navigation Flow Chart" made in Visio or some such plotting software. That's not a problem but it's arduous, tedious, etc. IF Flash Pro CS5 had a built in widget that would help with such a task, displaying the tree of connections between the movie clips that I could work from, I could get the job done quicker and get some new software too.
Will Flash CS5 generate a "navigation flow chart", a map that shows all the connections between all the movie clips in my app?
Thanks in advance for your input.

there is nothing like that in CS5

Flow Chart Programming

Hi
Is flow chart programming is possible through java?
Means through programming we need to generate a flow chart.
Searched net but all are separate installers, we need to install and then we can drag and drop all these..
Its easy with the installers.. but we cannt include with our application.
But here the requirement is something like we need to include this with applications..
So any jar files or any other way.. through which we can include the files in application and able to generate flow chart..!!
