Rif.: Labview + Python

[Sly_Nguyen]

How can I configure the return value of a Python Node in LabVIEW to output two values?

My python code is very simple

def calculate_sum_difference(num1, num2😞

    sum_result = num1 + num2

    difference = num1 - num2

    return sum_result, difference

Your python script returns a tuple: 

return sum_result, difference

The LabVIEW code should reflect this by wiring a cluster to represent the python tuple type:

Could you please show me where to find these two blocks?

[Basjong53]

It is a cluster of 2 numeric constants

Please read this carefully before proceeding:

Thank you for your help, I have completed it

[Sly_Nguyen]

I added code to be able to log every time it runs. When using LabVIEW, an error occurs; can you please take a look to help me?

[Basjong53]

Well, your python function returns a list... Which I don't think you want, since error_code is a number and result a string (shouldn't this be a boolean?)

Remove the [ ] from the return line. Then make sure that the order of you LabVIEW cluster is the same as your python tuple.

Looks like your python code returns number, string and the LabVIEW code expects string, number. Order needs to match.

Thanks for the help, I got it running. But only when running python log appears. What do I need to install for labview to be able to have log when changing reference values

The file is probably being created just not where you expect. Because you didn't specify a full path python is treating "log.txt" as a path relative to the working directory. Try an absolute path like "c:/log.txt" assuming Windows. Don't forget to escape the /, put "c://log.txt"

No idea where the working directory is in a python node...
