Tab control : passing common variables to other tabs

[ankit7540]

Dear all,
I am trying to use Tab controls to
i) 'configure' the DAQ and VISA devices for a measurement,
and then

ii) run the measurement using a sub-VI based on producer/consumer loop, in another tab.

For this I want to transfer the set parameters from the 'config tab' to the 'measurement tab'. Question, is how to implement this.

See attached images and VI.

________________________________

i) Config tab

ii) Alignment tab

Thank you.

Not sure I understood your problem but if you want to have access to the DAQmx controls in multiple cases, why not placing the controls outside of the case structure?

Thank you for the suggestion. I think this will work.

A tab control is mostly a way to organize front panel elements. There is typically no need to wire it to a case structure or anything else. Just program as if all controls and indicators are on a flat front panel.
