I could be going about this all wrong. I want to be able to report data to chart(s) in my main VI from while loops running in sub VIs.
Heres what i have done :
1. create subvi with chart inside while loop
2. create main Vi
3. copy chart from sub to main
4. create reference for chart in main VI
5. setup to clear chart history when main vi runs with said refrence
6. right click refrence wire> create indicator
7. run main VI so refnum gets to indicator.
8. right click indicator > data ops> make current val def
9. delete wire going to indictaor
10. right click indicator create control
11. probe wire on ref to chart hist prop node and wire between ref control and indicator run vi, they are the same
12. right click control > data ops> make current val def
13. copy control to sub vi
14. wire up value property node
15. probe wire from subvi ref just pasted to val property node
16. run sub vi, refnum matches that of refrence in main, chart in main vi updates as i expect and wanted. perfect.
17. righ click refrence in subvi > data ops> make current val def
18. save everything
19. run main vi, chart clears and updates as sub vi in main runs, works like it should/ or how i was hoping it would
20. close VIs and reopen Main, run
21. refnum error on prop node in sub Vi, probe ref wires in main and subvi and everything has refnum 0x0000000
I have attached a quick example of what i have done in my real program. in the real version i am using producer consumer to control main, state machine in consumer loop runs the sub VI's i am trying to do this with.
What am i doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

and i fixed this immediatley, wired panel in sub vi ref control to panel indicator, then wired first refrence in main to subvi.
IDK how i missed this sorry to waste time.
