Controlling Sub VI's via VI Server

[ShalimarA]

Overview
This example uses VI server to update control values on multiple sub-VI's, by controlling a single Main VI.

Description
Creating a control reference is the ideal way of controlling sub VI's from a Main VI. This example demonstrates using VI Server and Control References in order to update numeric values on several sub-VI's. This can be extended to any data type and is useful if you have multiple instances of a single value occuring on many VI's.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open Main.vi.
2. Open recv1.vi and recv2.vi
3. Browse to paths of two receiving VI's (recv1, recv2) within Array
4. Run Main.vi and update value of 'Base Number'
5. Notice that this updates values of both receiving VI's, even though they are not running
