// avoid unnecessary round trips to the controller 
ControllerOperatingMode mode = c.OperatingMode;

// Display a text associated to the corresponding operating mode
switch (mode)
{
    case ControllerOperatingMode.Auto:
        label4.Text = "Auto mode";
        break;
    case ControllerOperatingMode.AutoChange:
        label4.Text = "Auto change mode";
        break;
    case ControllerOperatingMode.Init:
        label4.Text = "Initial mode";

    case ControllerOperatingMode.ManualFullSpeed:

        break;
    case ControllerOperatingMode.ManualFullSpeedChange:
