Can I update numeric control value from global parameter or other source while running VI

I have an application where you can change same value from different numeric controls. When I change the value from one control, is it posible to automaticly update the value to other control ?

Control cannot control the other control.
If you want to just display the value, make it to indicator. May be I dont fully understand your question. If you dont mind, please explain more about your problem what exectly you want to do.

If this is what you really want, you can update a control using a local
variable or the value property of a control reference. When used with
just polling loops, it is difficult to get smooth synchronization
without sometimes losing a value that the user enters. But if using
events and locking the panel while synchronizing the others, you can
write it so that no values are ever lost.

Of course I'd recommend that you be sure that you really need the
duplicates when used. If you have questions about the UI, you can ask
with more details, or you can al
so submit your UI to be critiqued for an
NIWeek session.
