'Control terminals on connector pane not on top level block diagram.' comment on CLD report

[K.Waris]

Hello All

Could anybody enlighten me please , what does that comment mean on CLD report

'Control terminals on connector pane not on top level block diagram.

Does it mean that some terminals are hidden within some case structures and not showing on block diagram without going into case structures or by 'top level block diagram' it means

main.vi and controls on main.vi must also be connected to its connector pane?

Thank you

For one thing it means that they run VI analyzer on your VIs since that is a verbatim warning that you receive.  It simply means a terminal which is wired to the ConPane is not on the top level diagram, ie. inside a case structure.

As to why it is often not a good idea to do this read this classic thread:
