The following topics provide information about using structures, located on the Structures palette.

Structure Use Case	Structure
Repeating blocks of code
A set number or until an error	For Loop
Until a condition or until an error	While Loop
With time bounds and delays until a stop condition	Timed Loop
With time bounds and delays in order until a stop condition	Timed Loop with Frames
Executing all code in order
With all subdiagrams visible	Flat Sequence structure
With one subdiagram visible	Stacked Sequence structure
With time bounds and delays	Timed Sequence structure
Executing code conditionally
Based on values	Case structure
Based on events	Event structure
Disabling code
Based on conditions	Conditional Disable structure
Of specific blocks	Diagram Disable structure
Increasing memory efficiency	In Place Element structure
