Flat Sequence Structure
Consists of one or more subdiagrams, or frames, that execute sequentially. Right-click the structure border to add and delete frames. Use the Flat Sequence structure to ensure a subdiagram executes before or after another subdiagram. Data flow for the Flat Sequence structure differs from data flow for other structures. Frames in a Flat Sequence structure execute from left to right and when all data values wired to a frame are available. The data leave each frame as the frame finishes executing.
Use the Flat Sequence structure to avoid using sequence locals and to better document the block diagram. Use the Stacked Sequence structure if you want to conserve space on the block diagram. To convert the Flat Sequence structure to a Stacked Sequence structure, right-click the Flat Sequence structure and select Replace with Stacked Sequence from the shortcut menu. You can add or delete the subdiagrams and resize the frames of the Flat Sequence structure.
You cannot drag tunnels across the frames of a Flat Sequence structure.
To avoid overusing Flat Sequence structures, attempt to control the data flow of your VI by establishing data dependency or using flow-through parameters.
