Adding new variables to subvi

[K_I_T_T]

After importing my DLL LabView import wizard kindly created Vi-s for me, i specified which variables i want to be shared or not. 
I also have the main vi where i use all my DLL functions as subvi-s 
I manually added a variable in the subvi that i want to receive in the main vi (i want subvi to do some stuff apart from just containing my DLL function I/O)

I make it similar to my function output variables. But when i add this subvi to the main vi i still see the same amount of terminals on it.

How do i properly create a variable in subvi which i can access from my main vi? Am i doing something wrong? I thought i need to reconfigure the subvi to specify new variable accessibility, but i couldn't find a way to do it...

Thanks in advance!

PS I'm new to LabView and i don't know it that good yet, it takes time to find things i need because i don't know where they are...

Hi Kitt,

How do i properly create a variable in subvi which i can access from my main vi?

Are you talking about in/out values, connected in the ConnectorPane of your subVI?

(LabVIEW doesn't use "variables" in the sense of textual programming.)

Am i doing something wrong?

I don't know. You didn't attach any code…

Did you learn how to use the Connector Pane yet?

Hi Kitt,

please stick with your thread instead of creating a new thread for the very same topic!

(Especially after you got the first responses.)

I'm sorry, Chrome bugged out, could not create the thread for some reason (please try again in a few minutes), maybe it created several threads or smth...

Yes, exactly. Now i know how this thing is called at least so i can go and learn how to use it properly. Maybe you could tell me how to deal with my specific problem to save me some time?

Six. This website hates me.

Hi Kitt,

Learn about using the connector pane.

It is explained in the LabVIEW help (there's a "basics"/"first steps" chapter) and in the Training section in the header of this LabVIEW board…

Ok, I will 
Thank you for your patience and help
