How to reword scope of global variables on a per instance basis?

I have a legacy application of this unforutnatly makes a lot of use of global variables (not the functional kind).  If we want to run two instances of the first level VI simultaneously without using global variables collided with another, which is the least painful to achieve this way * without * having to build in an exe?

I don't know if it'll work or not, but that would happen if you ran the screws in two different projects?   I might have to try that when I managed to find some free time.

  • Create the global variable

    I am new to animate. Please can you tell me how I can declare a global variable?

    I try to have a single button that plays the next 10 frames, another button that plays the next 20 images. I put the event listeners for the buttons on the first image. I'm putting the code on the timeline each 10 images that works if the game has to stop. I would like to connect with some global Boolean values. The project is the html canvas.

    It must be simple. Can you help me?

    Scope of variables in canvas mode:

    myVar = 1; variable is accessible everywhere in the current page

    this.myVar = 1; variable is accessible in all the images of the current clip

    var myVar = 1; variable is accessible in the current context only

    So yes, the creation of a global variable is simple the most.

  • Why LabVIEW example projects using Global Variables?

    I'm puzzled.  I've been pretty good programmers LabVIEW talks (including some who work for the OR) and came away with the impression that Global Variables should, as a general rule, be avoided, with functional Global Variables (alias VI Globals) generally preferred for "local memory".

    I have studied some of the example distributed with LabVIEW, 2012 and 2013, in particular the proposed acquisition in real time and am struck by the use of Global Variables, where I'd be inclined to use instead a FGV.  For examples, to stop all the loops on the RT target, the overall "All the RT loop Stop" is defined; 'Constants' of configuration (such as timeouts, Streme network names, the names of the journal folder) are kept as Globals; Streme network endpoints are stored in Globals.

    [Note - there is a weird spelling of the second word of the network Streme, above - when I tried to post with the correct spelling, I got an error message saying this word is 'not allowed in this community".]  I apologize for the offense, but I must confess that I do not understand what the problem with the help of the spelling of this word...]

    Why use Globals in these cases, rather than write a bunch of VIGs to hold these data?  Note that almost all these Globals are 'Read' essentially (written once when a resource is acquired, for example) or "Read Only" (treated as if they were a constant).  Indeed, read-only variables can be written as a Subvi with only an output terminal, acting as a (visible, due to the icon) constant.

    I can see advantages to this approach.  On the one hand, VIGs can have error bounds who run the data flow (I just spotted a bug "data flow" in code, I am developing that is based on this model, to read configuration data to an XML file in a world and in the same VI, Global wiring to a "use - me" terminal, but with no guarantee that I'll read the overall after I write it).

    It is, I suppose, a matter of 'speed' - perhaps Global Variables are 'faster' than VIGs (especially if the VIG 'sits' on an error line).  My thought, however, is that this difference is likely to be trivial, especially as these VIGs (or Globals) tend to become "occasional" calls (with the exception of the indicator 'all the loop Stop' which is called once per line).

    Are there other arguments or considerations that make a Variable global to a better choice than a VIG?  Is there a reason that LabVIEW developers put in these start-up of projects LabVIEW?

    BS

    I have to ask, how do you use functional Global Variables?  Like just a Get and Set?  If so, you can use a global variable.

    Yes, globals are faster and use much less overhead.  At the summits of CLA in recent years, we talked about using globals.  The most common use is for Write-Once-Read Many and writing-never-Read Many with configuration data.  It's a good idea to use globals with the constants that can change on you.  It turns out that the world will have the same performance as a constant in this case.  This is done so that you don't have 1 place to edit the 'constant '.

    The rule on "Globals are evil" actually goes back several years when NEITHER had the huge "people of the country are bad" vendata.  But NEITHER explains well how to do things properly.  So I found people, instead of using local variables, using the value property node.  It's even worse because the property causes thread swaps and kills your performance.  It wasn't until I shouted to people to use wires and shift registers I have seen improvements in the way in which people wrote their code.  So people are always riffling in the use of globals and decided to use FGVs with the EEG and fixed rather cases.  But this does not solve the problem of the conditions of race with critical data and you cause an additional burden.

    So from my experience, I use globals all the time for configuration data.  Yes, you must be careful about the race conditions.  But as long as you understand that it is a common and useful practice.

    I would not use a global variable for data that are constantly changing (use registers to offset or Action motor) and/or processes that have critical sections of code (use a motor of Action).

    NOTE: I use the definition of Mercer to FGV (a Get/Set only) and motor Action (many cases which specifically affect the data).

  • How to extract file with LabVIEW Teststand global variables

    Hello

    My goal here is to extract all the contents of the global variables for file (names and the value of any types) in a sequence of my LabVIEW UI file.

    For now, I can only open a file of sequence of LabVIEW and get the number and the names of the variables (cf. vi) attached.

    But if my variable is a container, I would like to know all the contents of this container (and so on) and I don't know how to do it.

    In addition, I have to extract the value of variables that I don't know the type in advance...

    Can you help me?

    Thank you.

    Well I finally used the method "GetNthSubProperty" to work on each variable and I use the property 'Type' to know if it's a number, string, boolean, or a container. If it is a container, I repeat the process at a lower level... (see attached vi)

  • How to create a Global Variable through the Project Explorer

    Hello world!

    I know how to create a global variable (in a vi through the range of functions...).

    but I'm missing a way to create one via the Project Explorer.

    It's a missing feature or just this documentation (and the intuition of myself) are missing?

    It would be very convenient.

    THX for your time and hope that answers.

    Right click on my computer > new > new... > select Global Variable.

    EDIT: although I agree with Gerd (he probably wondering why you need so we can recommend a better way ), I rarely use them in easy to write once - read many applications such as security levels overall program at initialization (VER) to read later, but NOT modified.  I know it would be better to make a good class, functional Global Variable (FGV) or a motor Action (AE) but globals ARE practical and safe IF used wisely.

  • How to make a USB-TC01 temperature data a global variable?

    Hi all!  I have a simple question (probably).  I bought the box USB-TC01 and with the software came a VI called LabVIEWTempLogger.  This VI reads a thermocouple voltage and internal conversions using DAQmx and a CYC edge to give a reading of simple temperature.  My problem is that I want to use this temperature in an another VI, then I want to make a global variable of temperature of LabVIEWTempLogger.  How to set a global variable such as temperature of LabVIEWTempLogger?  Thank you!

    You must get out of the recorder temperature VI the DAQ Assistant. Put it in a Subvi if you wish.

    Your main VI has some problems. The first fact a comparison is equal to the current temperature. Never make an equal comparison on a floating point number. Use in the range and force.

    The local 'Set Temp deg C' should be replaced by a wire from the Terminal. All local variables should be replaced by a wire. You can easily have the cable terminals from outside the main loop.

    Can't the difference in code in the States True and False when you read voltage.

    Don't use VISA bytes to the Serial Port. It's just bad style. You programmed it for a terminal character LF to get rid of fixed forward and set the number of bytes to read at a high number. Playback will wait until the stop character is detected and then automatically end.

    Finally, you have already created a world so I do not understand your questions about it.

  • How to access a global variable that is common between the different baskets project library

    My project consist of several libraries, after generation the library project packed for each library, I find it cannot share data in a global variable between different packaged project library file. For example: packed project library #1 contains VI variables global wirte 'position' and give it a value '400 '. Library #2 present another VI project try to read this global variable, but he gave reading of is NULL not "400". Why has this happened? Is it possible to solve, welcome any help, I wll appreciate for this!

    If you understand what is happening here...

    When you build a PPL, it takes in the .lvlib and also all the dependencies of the .lvlib.

    In your case, when you generate the Test Task.lvlib in a .lvlibp, she also pulls on a copy of the DataProcess.lvlib:GlobalsVariable.vi because it's addictive to read GlobalVar.vi.

    When your application runs, you end up with two copies of GlobalsVariable.vi in memory:

    DataProcess.lvlibp:GlobalsVariable.vi

    AND

    Test Task.lvlibp:: GlobalsVariable.vi (I don't know how PPLs namespace dependencies... If there is still the DataProcess.lvlibp)

    Because they are different screws (i.e. in a different namespace), they have their own memory and that's why you can't access the data.

    Your Test Task.lvlibp calls the version of GlobalsVariable.vi, he pulled the dependencies.

    To solve this problem - you must ensure that Task.lvlibp of Test calls the version of GlobalsVariable.vi of the DataProcess.lvlibp - you'll need to replace all instances with the version of the PPL. Of course, if you run DataProcess in the development environment, then it will always be bad namespaced, hence the suggestion to put your global variable VI in is own PPL that you then use in the process of data and Test tasks.

  • How to associate existing global variables

    It's probably something stupid that I'm missing.

    I created a global variable and there is a string.  I put it in a file called XML_Global.vi I then proceeded to make an another global var and would assign to the same variable.  However, the IDE shows me an another façade Globals 4.  How can I associate the existing façade of XML_Global.vi with the global variable I PLOPPED down there?  I looked everywhere on how to proceed in the properties and others, but couldn't find it.

    Have you read through this document?

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvhowto/creating_global_variables/

    There may be some confusion about what is happening... When I add a global variable for the rough process, I followed the block diagram is:

    • Open the front panel to the global variable
    • Add FP (there may be several elements in a global variable VI)
    • Save the global variable VI
    • Then drag + drop of my project on a diagram VI
    • Select the variable I want by double clicking on the overall and will select an element > name Variable

    If this clears it for you? Looks like you try to simply place another instance of global variable in the palette of functions and then select the variable to assign this instance to (similar to what you would do with a local variable)? With globals, a new instance of a global VI is created when you drop the global BD... you want to place the world you have edited/saved (drag + drop of project or use the "Select" VI in the range of functions).

    I hope this helps...

  • How to use the global variable in the table target?

    Hello

    I am trying to load several files into a single interface. the data is loaded successfully. 92. the files are there. for this I used variables and package.

    My requrement is 92 files of data loaded into the target table. I want to know what data from file.

    to this I added a column (filename) to the existing target table.

    If I used joints (not same condition), its totally wrong. all file names are coming.

    Please see the following screenshots.

    err27.jpg

    exit; target table.

    err26.jpg

    in fact in the target table. first 10 lines are coming from file.i.e first _ACCOUNT_LIMIT_511.TXT. but all the files names are coming.

    I'm confuse. After the first data file inserted then insert second data file. in that all file names are coming. Please help me.

    I thought that the global variable is preferable to identify the data came from which file.

    to do this, the global variable is used in the target table. I don't always have my exit.

    Please help me.

    Thanks in advance.

    err25.jpg

    Hello

    You can use the same way, how you use the project variable, just you have to do a thin is #GLOBAL.variable_name for example: #GLOBAL. SMART_AL_FILE_NAME_S

    Note: Make sure you that while you use one variable overall in interface, indicator should be staged as you chose above the screen

  • Global variable setting within the chronology of the symbol, how?

    Hello!

    I came across a problem on board animate CC. I've set a global variable, in which I stores the name of a loaded composition and works peachy as long as it has defined (variable) on the main timeline. But I also need to change its value inside the mini menu, which is a symbol with its own timetable and actions. Symbol of the elements (menus) can read the overall (as expected) var on for example the click event, but I can't change its value. How can I do?

    Pawel

    K, obtained at the bottom of the present: After experimenting a little more, it turns out, I did nothing wrong, it's just that Edge animate Gets a little finicky with the order to execute commands. Moving from one line of code 'upward the lader' did, what I was trying to achieve for so long.

    Lesson learned: when you work with Edge, if something doesn't work and the code seems to be ok, try to rearange code, regardless of how stupid it sounds.

    Thanks for your help and your time, robboerman and resdesign. I appreciate it.

  • How to use use the name of the database schema in global variables?

    I created a global variable with the following query:

    "SELECT WeekID from * dr_errdb*.last_dailyload.


    But when it goes into production and the CONTEXT is changed, certainly will not work because the database is set in the query ("dr_errdb").

    What method and how the database directly from the SCHEMA to complete this query?

    How to do something like this:

    Select WeekID from 'a method '. last_dailyload

    Hello

    rather than hardcode the name of schema, use the API< %="odiRef.getSchemaName" (« nom_logique","d")="" %="" >="" où="" le="" nom="" logique="" est="" le="" nom="" de="" votre="" schéma="" logique="" que="" vous="" avez="" définie="" dans="" la="" topologie="" et="" (j’espère)="" utilisez="" dans="" votre="" « schema »="" pendant="" l’actualisation="" de="" la="">

    Therefore, you can change the physical schema as defined in the context that you use for the logic diagram to point to the different DB.

    Your query is transformed in "SELECT WeekID from < %="odiRef.getSchemaName" (« nom_logique »,="" « d")%=""> .last_dailyload.
