Action Engine Data Space associated with an executable

[Joseph_Loo]

I am thinking of using an AE (Action Engine) for my project. I have basically 3 top level VI which I use to display and control the machine behavior (they are essentially duplicates of each other). If I invoke the AE (same name), will the AE will be sharing the data with the 3 top level VI in a single executable?

What do you mean "invoke the AE"?

[Joseph_Loo]

I will be calling The AE vi to extract the information kept in the VI. I basically want to confirm that in the same execution module, I can share the data among the top 3 VI, i.e. I will need to create an array of three elements for each of the top level VI.

I have not tried that in LV 8.+ yet so I will speculate.

Since NI is pretty good about making sure old stuff still works, I suspect you should be OK.

If not, you will have to explicitly specify the applicaiton instance they run in.

For all of these types a questions, I stongly urge you "Build early, build often" just to make sure you do not get blind-sided when the dead-line approaches.
