LV7.1 Terminals

[RL]

Can someone explain how Random Number Log.vi has 3 terminals but when it is used as a sub-vi in Scan Through Reads.vi it has 4 terminals (it gained a time stamp)? I am having difficulty understanding how this was done.

Could you point out where the mentioned VIs are located. Are they part of the shipping examples?

Thanks!

This is in the new examples related to .tdm storage files. It may be under I/O, I will check. This is what I hate about DLLs - you can't find VIs inside without conversion.

The VI is an attachment(example.zip) to the document"Using Enable Database Access to Retrieve Data from a LabVIEW VI's Log File"

The "Random Number Log" VI is a standalone in one case and embedded in another.

The Random Number Log.vi in the above example has no terminals connected at all (right-click on icon ... show connectors). It only has a single output terminal, the graph. Notice that it is set to "log at completion".

When used in scan through reads.vi, it is set to "Enable database access". This wraps the database access "halo" frame around them, which contains the database related connectors. (Right click on them ... "Disable database access" to remove the halo and associated connetors).

The above quoted article has more details.
