labview >> run a subvi by pressing a button multiple times

by Wiebe@CARYA » Mon, 27 Sep 2004 20:50:17 GMT

Hi,

You have to run it dynamically, with the Run VI method. This method can
optionally wait or not. Before running the VI, you have to set the controls
with the method Set Control Value (or Set Control Value [Variant]).

There are several ways to read back values from dynamically started VI's.
One is to use a buffer (lv2 global). Another is to use the Get Control Value
method.

It's complicated, but if you put all this code in a sub vi, you'll end up
with a nice main...

Regards,

Wiebe.

7. multiple instances of a subVI - problem if running as executable 

Hello LabVIEW gurus, 

I have written an application, which uses a VI-template to create multiple instances of this subVI which are
running independently. I use 'Open VI Referece' and the 'Call By Reference Node' VIs. My application works
fine if it is executed in the LabVIEW development environment.

But if I use the Application Builder to create a stand alone program, the 'Call By Reference' method seems
not to work. The program works without any error message, but the subVIs created by call by reference
deliveres no results. I suppose the subVIs are not created properly.

Has anybody an idea or hint to solve that problem. Are there any known issues with 'Call By Reference Node'
and 'executables'. Are there special points to pay attention for?

I have that problem with LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 (Windows2000 and WindowsXP(SP2))

Thanks for any hint that could be helpful.

Steffen
