The JKI State Machine Editor is a tool to make it easy for developers to use the JKI State Machine. It makes common tasks extremely easy to perform and exposes the user to more “advanced” (non-obvious) JKI SM features (because they are first-class features of the Helper), as well as JKI SM best practices (since the helper can enforce them: left-justification of strings, avoiding chaining states, etc.).
Workflow (LabVIEW 2016 and 2013.5.3.218):
Open LabVIEW
Open existing VI with JKISM
Open JKISM Explorer
Rename Frame (or any action it seems)
observe no dirty dot (no need to save)
close VI and lose change
Note 1: This seems to happen when just using "Remove and Rewire" in any VI, maybe not a JKISM Explorer issue
Note 2: If after the closing of the VI in above steps, I reopen the same VI (did not close LabVIEW), I do not seem able to open the JKISM explorer. However, if I reopen a different VI with a JKISM I can open the explorer for that VI.
