Getting Live Data from SubVI in LabVIEW NXG?

[michelleann]

Hello, 

I'd like to update a progress bar on my main VI using live data from a subVI.  I see there is a solution for non-NXG versions of LabVIEW (which I found at the link below) that involves wiring to "Value" on the Ctl refnum property node.  However, "Value" is not an option for the same property node in NXG.  Is there a different way to do this? 

Thank you!

You could create a loop on your main VI that reads from a notifier to update the progress bar and use a send notification from the subVI to update it.

Okay I will give that a shot, thank you!
