Hesitate to pass data between vi's

[hugosantos]

How to pass words / phrases to other vi's, so they appear as constants?

have you used the search box at the top of the NI homepage?  look up sub vi basics

Hi,

you can use the FGV-Structure:

Using a Functional Global Variable to Communicate with a SubVI

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12876

You can also create a gloabal variable in LabVIEW:

But I think FGV is the better way.

You could also concider using an Action Engine as I described in this Nugget.

Sorry Xenox but why stop at FGV when you can do an AE?

reminds me of a campaign line that developed in my head (bad head!) while watching a recent political debate "Why settle for mediocracy when you can choose the vest?"

Thanks for the reply, resolves some of the obstacles.
But for the string does not work.
There is another way for the strings?

Please post an image of your code and show us where you want to do the transfer of the string.

Images should let us help you better than us just gueessing at what you could be having difficulty coding.

Below is the example code only works with numbers, and also liked to work with words.

Just edit the FGV and right click the control and indiactor and choose "Replace" then navigate to a string control/indicator.

Save done.

Thanks for reply.

I've tried to do what you said but does not work, when I do replace, is not accepted.

Greetings.

What you are attempting is trivial.

Show us a screen shot of your machine when you are attempting the replace and please report any errors or messsage you see.
