Some one help me please (Function global resistor)

Solved!

Hi every one:

 

I got few question about Function global resistor (FGR).

What are the features of FGR?

And what is FGF mean?

What are the features of FGF?

 

Thank you very much.

What are you talking about?

 

The only thing in LabVIEW that resembles the words you are using Functional Global Variable.

I have heard of Functional Globals in LabVIEW (ActionEngine).

But I have to admit this is the first time I hear of a Functional Global Resistor.

 

Can you elaborate?

Where did you hear of this terminology?

That is a functional global variable. Also known as an Action Engine. I think you're getting confused by the name that someone gave to the VI, using FG to mean "Functional Global" and "R" for Resistor. Why someone would name a VI like that I have no idea.

Why?

 

There was a standard about naming that said that sub-VI were pre-fixed by the callers name or abreviations indicating the caller. I though tthe standard was silly becuase it blew up the first time the sub-VI was called from diferent VIs.

 

That standard also tried to avoid name colisions between vis.

 

It has been replaced by using libraries.

I thought that convention had to do with the prefix being a category or some sort of functional group, rather than the type of VI. Though I have seen "real" code posted on these forums where subVIs had the prefix "SubVI - ". Ummmm... yeah.... I'll bet they'd never do that with text-based languages, so I have no idea why they would treat LabVIEW any differently.

You're right.  When programming in C, I never call functions or object file "subVI".

 

Yep...  Functional Global.  If you do a search on FUnctional GLobals, I'm sure you'll find hundreds of posts.

They are quite useful, actually.

 

Was there something in particular that you wanted to know about the code?
