Create Class Search

[rafael.assis16]

I have a VI that does a search and returns me a value. I need to create, from this VI, a generic search class for me to call throughout the program. How can I do it?

Can you explain what you mean by a "generic search class"?

Attached is a cleaner version of your VI that gets rid of the unneeded local variables and sequence structure.

How are you holding your classes and the lookup strings?

Just looking at that VI, it seems like it is WAY more complicated than it needs to be.  With proper data flow, 95% of your terminals and local variables as well as the Sequence Structure could be eliminated and we could probably reduce it down to easily a single screen.

From this search VI I will need to implement in several points of my program where I will look for any variable and return its value, so this VI was done. So the need to do a generic VI and implement in a class. I'm new to labview, if you have better alternatives you can tell me.

Actually VI is a little "dirty", but I'm new to labview and I'm still learning the techniques needed to make a VI look "clean".

I'm going to close because I got some internal help here at work.
