Is it possible to use design patterns?  Are we limited to a vi only format? I did see a subVi in one of the example programs, but wasn't certain what the limitations are.

I don't expect to be able to use Actor framework, but a QMH or a State machine (i think this one is doable), but even if they are in limited form it would be good to use design patterns for clear code.

You are limited to VIs but you can make your own design patterns as long as you stay withing the constraints of the allowed LabVIEW primitives.  SubVIs are supported and you can find a list of supported primitives and features in the user manual (queues are not supported).  But a state machine architecture is a good choice, however, you have to be careful on these small targets as you can quickly exhaust Flash and RAM if you use overly complex architectures.

another mention of the manual...seems to be a pattern. HA!  I have looked at it, but it hasn't been clear. I will look again with your response guiding my thoughts and will see what is in there.  Thanks!
