It is much easier to develop good code when working from a specification instead of deriving the requirements on-the-fly. Second, design the software. Combine standard software design principles, such as the State Machine Diagram, with LabVIEW best practices, such as the State Machine design pattern. Third, configure the LabVIEW environment.
