strict type def cohesion dot

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

Can some one tell me why the cohesion dot appears on the "Commands Out Array 2" indicator?  I was going through the CLD preparation and tried to make a cluster to match the Commands Out Array indicator (my attempt is Data Cluster_1.ctl).  The top part half of the VI is taken from the solution, and the bottom half is the cluster I tried to create.  

 

Can you tell me what is the difference between the two type defs?

 

Is there a procedure to create a type def cluster to match the indicator that is given (Commands Out Array indicator)?

 

Thanks,

hiNi

I don't see a coersion dot on mine. If the array is of the same type as the the cluster in the for-loop (which it is for me), then there shouldn't be a dot. Here's what I see:

First of all, it is COERSION dot.

 

Secondly, two type defs are different.  They may have the exact same data inside, but they are defined in different places.  Therefore, you get a coersion dot.

what crossrulz says is correct. doesn't matter if the data types inside the clusters are the same, the controls are defined in different places.

Are the ctl files normally given in the CLD exams? 

 

Thanks,

I figured this is where the conversation was headed.  To be honest, I don't remember, and you shouldn't really care.  If they aren't, make them.  If they are, use them.  🙂

As mentioned above, if I make it myself, will there be a penality if the COERSION dot appears?

 

Thanks,

Possibly.  Assuming no ctl files are given, my advice would be to make the front panel items type defs (right-click->Make Type Def).
