Hi,
I am trying do a multi-plot waveform chart on the front panel from a sub VI. I have created a control reference and fed it in a cluster to the subVI. When I try to connect a cluster of the data for the front panel I get a broken wire:
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Why are you trying to wire a cluster to it? The property node clearly shows that it is expecting a scalar. That is the default for a single plot chart.

Thanks Dennis,
Yes I can see that I can fix it by just wiring a scalar but that is not going to get me a mulit-plot chart.
I suppose my simple minded way of thinking is that because the chart will accept a cluster on the front panel then it should accept a cluster in the subVI. I am probably in way above my depth, I am very much a beginner with all this control reference, property node, typedef.... stuff.

If you want the chart to accept a cluster in the subVI, first wire a cluster to the chart in the main VI and then recreate the reference.

Thanks Dennis,
It sounds too easy to be true!
