What is the "Single Step (callable as SubVI)" setting in the State
Diagram Editor good for and why would I want to use it?

First of,

I love the State Diagram Editor! This thing is way cool!

Now my question:
I have read the help and gone through the tutorial and examples.

I am lost as to why anyone would want to use the setting

Edit>>>Execution Mode>>>Singel Step (Callable as SubVI)

If I understand it correctly, it will cause the indicated VI to only
execute one state and then return. The state that executes is the next
state that would have executed after the last time it was called.

I have watch this run in execution highlighting and it to only seems
to be good if I want a called sub-VI to execute differently each time
I call it and the action it takes is dependent on the state it was in
last time it was called.

Has anyone seen an example or used this setting in a meaningful
manner?

Is this suposed to be a wrapper for a autoinitializing action engine?

Anyone want to "flip on the light" for me?

Ben
