Does the red dot in the attached VI affect the speed or not?

[Shijie]

My VI has a lot of controls. If one control is defined as typedel, when the typedef connects to the other controls, it will shows the red dot. How can I get rid of the red dot? Does the red dot in the attached VI affect the speed or not?

Thank you,

Make the controls/indicators that you have it wired to also the type def.

The coercion does cause slight slowdowns since there is a conversion involved.  Only in the tightest of loops would you actually notice it.

If the coercion is simply between a typedef and a non-typdefed value with the same representation, there should be no speed penalty because no conversion is actually necessary. (Note, I haven't actually looked at the VIs posted here, so I don't know if that's the case in this situation.)
