How 'local' are local Variables?

• How to set multiple values clustered with local variable?

  Hi all

  Okay, I made my way through Labview for everyone and have some basic concepts down. I can see with a cluster, if acting directly on it, you can ungroup, change values, rebundle, etc..

  I try something a little more complex... and just do not know how to start on this.

  I have a menu menu ring set. I created this with a typedef, with 4 values.  I used this typedef 7 times, more a few LED bool, in a cluster. I made this cluster a typedef.

  Therefore, in my main vi, I started designing, I put an example posted here... and inside, I have two instantiations of the typedef cluster commands selection of left and right.

  I dropped in this vi, a copy of the menu ring typedef (same typedef as in clusters, values) called reset all tubes.

  Now, I am trying to understand how, with an event to change the value to 'reset all the tubes'... that I can start with the left switch and change all tubes (here is the menu ring selector) to the same value as what has been selected with the ring of menu 'Reset all the tubes'.

  I created a local variable for the selector on the left. It is configured to read values. (I'll be doing the same thing with the right too, but just to start with the left).

  In the examples I've seen where access to a cluster, you could ungroup the cluster... browse and change the values... maybe pull out all the "hits" in a table and go through to update the values.  And when you group or ungroup the bunch... you can see the values, etc., when you stretch on the block diagram.

  With the local variable... I do not see to 'stretch' it as I expected... so I can access the values "tubes"... and all at the value of the 'reset all the tubes' ring menu value.

  Someone can put me on the path on the best way to do... or is it a component structure I'm missing here?  Am that I on the right track everything first here?

  It seems pretty basic to me, but miss me just something here on the way to start...

  Thank you in advance,

  You can't do this with a for loop of how the Department is structured, but why make it so complicated?  Just group the new value in the cluster, as shown below:

  

  If you do not want to use a loop for example, consider the restructuring of your cluster.  Group ring and a Boolean value in a cluster, and then unmold 7 of those in the cluster of selector.  Then you can use 'cluster to the table' and 'picture of cluster' for all elements of the external cluster will be of the same type.

  Also, be careful when using rings in the form of type definitions.  You probably want to use an enumeration instead.  The elements of a ring do not update the when you update the type definition because they are considered to be cosmetics. the elements of a definition of enumeration type update, because the elements of an enumeration are considered as part of the data type.

• How to access settings/local/variables, who went through referenece?

  Hello

  I am new to NOR teststand.

  A single sequence file (file1.seq), I called another file of sequence (file2.seq), which I spent the value of parameter by reference (Locals.Driver)

  Parameter is Local that contains string variables.

  In File2, I want to replace the value of Locals.Driver.

  But I'm not able to access past variable reference (Locals.Driver) in File2.

  Please tell me how to use this variable in File2.

  Settings are accessible using "Parameters.variable".  If you pass by reference, you just put this setting and it will update the local section that allows you to call the sequence when the sequence is complete.

• How to read the values of the variables of façade in loops without using local variables or property value nodes?

  I know that local variables and nodes of property value are causing a lot of problems.

  But if I read the value of a variable front outside a loop.

  the value is only read once before the start of the loop.

  Changed the front variable values during the iterations of the loop, is invisible.

  How can I solve this problem?

  
  

• How to copy Step.Result.Error.Code in the local Variable

  How can I copy Step.Result.Error.Code to a stage in particulat to a local variable.

  I want to print the value of Step.Result.Error.Code in my test report.

  Help, please. Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Sagar Joshi

  Yes of course!

  This is better handled by the recall of SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError:

  (1) StepResultCode (number) is added FileGlobals

  (2) add SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback to your movie file

  (3) the next stage of the declaration adds the recall of SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError :

  FileGlobals.StepErrorCode = Parameters.Step.Result.Error.Code

  Here is an overview of the sequence:

  

  I hope this helps.

• How to find the steps associated with a local variable?

  In a sequence, we have to write or read from a local variable. Is it possible (for example right-click the variable) to find out related measures?

  Thank you!

  Are you talking about discover what steps use the local variable.  Because the measures are not really "related" variables.  Either they are or they aren't.

  You can use the search/replace tool.  Edit > find/replace

  In the look for:, enter inhabitants.

  You can check her search for: box, and then select the order in which you want to search.  This should show you a list of all instances of the local variable.

  Hope this helps,

• How to create a nested local variable control custom?

  I inherited code which has a cluster of CTL control nested inside another group of control CTL.  If I drag the control nested outside the border of the other, I can right-click to create a local variable, I need to connect to the bundle name.  However, as soon as I drag the inside the limits of external control, it breaks the local variable.

  How can I create a local variable in a cluster THAT CTL nested in a second group CTL?

  Is there some kind of reference OuterCluster.InnerCluster, that I can use if I do a local variable of the external group?

  It turns that I need a local variable for the cluster internal.

  JPG attached shows that I created a local variable for the external cluster (ParametersCluster), used a Unbundle based on the name to access cluster internal (EmptyParmeters) and can access one of the elements through an another Unbundle by name.

• Local variables are comparable to the value property of a control or indicator?

  I use the buttons / switches mechanical locking action, event structures and local variables to track the status of my switches.  I used local variables with indicators, too.  Now I see that this could be done via the node property of a switch or an indicator.  Should I use the nodes property instead of local variables?  Should I use "switch" mechanical action and control the State of the control buttons / switches?  I used a mechanical locking action because it automatically reset when it is read, but who pushed me in the use of local variables.

  I know the property values to adapt the data flow model, while local variables might be placed in a sequence structure to ensure the order of execution.

  I just don't want my program all except if it is a correct approach.

  Thank you

  Dark Hollow says:

  Well, I'm changing the properties of user interface in my state machine.  For example, when you push a button to START the TEST, I want to disable and gray this button and activate the button to STOP the TEST.

  No engineer too much. In this case, you can use a single button and label the FALSE case a 'start Test' and the REAL case as TEST 'STOP '. No additional code needed at all. At the same time, you only use the half-Panel space! (and 10% space diagram!)

  Dark Hollow says:

  Another example... I have a couple of dozens of LEDs on the front panel to show the TEST SUCCEEDED.  If I have the wiring all of them, my state machine diagram gets messy.

  Define disorder! In my mind, code is not held together by wire is much messier because it is impossible to determine the order of execution and so program logic. A thread is a small 1 d object. A property node is a significant 2D object. 20 wires are much less messy than 20 knots of property, especially given that each property nodes still hanging by a thread in one way or another!

  In order to reduce the number of threads, use the most appropriate data structures. Instead of a few dozen sighted use a single Bay of LED. A single wire! Keep the table in a shift register and update alone LED as necessary by using "replace subset of the table".

• sons are better than local variables?

  Hello

  I built a vi that eventually became huge with lots of sequence and case. Local variables of course reduces a lot of threads, but at the same time consumes memory. So those who are better? son of current throughout the vi or local variables?

  Concerning

  Simo

  The sons are better.

• How to eliminate local variables?

  I am new to Labview and Labview to what I wrote a few examples.

  I use the latest version of Labview 8.6.1 under Windows XP.

  One of my exercises is a sieve has the Erasthotenes (Erastothenes?).

  For this, I took some code formerly written in Visual Basic and also Matlab und transformed cela in Labview.

  Now I have the problem that I'm not able to remove the local variables used.

  Without variables I couldn't get it to run. (Sorry for my bad English).

  See attachment.

  Is there anyone who is able to eliminate the variables?

  Little explanation:

  The algorithm starts with 3 as the numer first Prime and 2 as the first separation.

  The dividers are tested up to the square root of the dividend.

  Is that a number is a prime number, it is used as a new divider.

• How can I get the changed data in a def type control containing an Xcontrol with a local variable

  Hello

  I did an Xcontrol and I inserted this control in a def type.

  When I want to change the data of the control with a local variable in a VI the VI change nothing. The change of the data is not complete

  How can I fix this problem?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  What is your version of LabVIEW? You have a simple example program that demonstrates this behavior?

  I found an other discussions related to your problems with Xcontrols:

  update of type defs Xcontrol faade

  No data change event generated for an XControl in a Type definition

  XControl facede.vi

  I hope this helps.

• How is it my local variable is not updated its value compared to what is happening in the while loop?

  Hello

  I am trying to extract data from a time that my statements updated in what concerns the number of loop iteration. I tried to use the two local variables and travel records, but without success.

  I also did the following example: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7585/en and it works like a charm.

  I've attached the PNG file with declaration of the local variable circled in red. Join a VI in the next respnose.

  Thank you

  No, the two while loops are stacked and not parallel, which means the outer loop cannot go to the next iteration until all code in this document, including the inside so that the loop is finished.

• How to determine the number of rows in the database and save the result to a local variable?

  Hello

  I'm a newbie in the use of TestStand, databases and SQL, and now I've met difficulties. I use TestStand 2014 (32 bit).

  I have a need to know the number of rows in a database and save that number in a local variable. I tried to practice using the database of the Types of step provided with TS. I tried to use the following in a SQL statement:

  Locals.NumberOfRows = ("SELECT COUNT (*) FROM TEST_TABLE")

  It returns an error: specified value is not the expected type. My goal is possible in this way, or I'm doing this completely wrong?

  -RautSa

  Thank you for your response, Norbert. I have a database of who wins new values at random, and sometimes I need the exact number of rows in this table.

  I managed to achieve my goal by using the SQL statement: "SELECT COUNT (*) as Rowcount OF TEST_TABLE", followed by a data GET operation, which records that number of lines in a local variable.

• How to replace the more local variables

• By the way the local variable to sous-suite

  I have a sequence that sets a local variable, Locals.LowPassFreqGhz = 1,800.

  Then it executes 5 subsequences.

  The Local is set to a new value and then the same 5 subsequences are re-run.

  Now I have new model numbers where the pair is different and will soon have models where there are groups of 4 frequencies instead of two. That is why I would like to put the 5 seqs in a following and pass the freq based on a select statement. In my limited understanding and knowledge of TestStand, I think that the sous-suite would have its own Local.variables. How should I move this local to a sous-suite, convert a File.global?

  Thank you

  JVH

  The subsequence could have its own inhabitants, but you must use the parameters to pass to residents for the most part in the subsequence. See Chapter 1 of the section and the reference of TestStand sequences on manual.
