Hi All,
This is one of my first posts here, I'm having multiple problems with shared variables.
The lab I work in uses has two main computers connected via ethernet. The first hosts many network shared variables that the second one records. I'm trying to create another shared variable on the first computer, then modify it by the second computer. The problem is, I can no longer seem to modify any network shared variable on the second computer.
1) Right clicking on a shared variable reveals that "select variable" is grayed out.
2) It is possible to place a new shared variable by right clicking empty space on the block diagram and navigating to one through the data and communications section. However, double clicking on it's symbol in the block diagram does not bring up the menu to select which particular shared variable is to be referneced.
3) I can create a new shared variable in the project explorer, but when I try to drag it to the block diagram, my cursor changings to a black circle with a line through it and the shared variable does not appear.
I'll note at-least the vast majority of shared variables created by a pervious graduate students are aliased on the second computer and they are titled "read," I'm not sure if that is significant or not.
Thanks for any help,
-David
