User interface problem: list of clusters

[cchock_idg]

Hi everyone

Thanks for this discussion.  I'm [hoping] that this won't need to be maintained once it's out there and I won't be using this personally outside of some initial testing.  The number of items is limited by hardware, but that limit is 2*64*127 items spread across 63 nodes so I'd rather not copy + paste however many times that is.  That being said, if it's a huge computational hit to dynamically create these items, then so be it.  I can make notes on the front VI just saying to open another instance if absolutely necessary but I don't imagine anyone coming anywhere near close to the theoretical limits of the hardware because it only has finite RAM.

Thanks again for the discussion

Famous last words of any developer.

If the information is all the same you only need one VI that you will call dynamically as many times as you need. The VI should be re-entrant which will allow multiple copies to run at the same time. Depending on your environment you may need to used preallocated or shared clones. Either way, you do not need to have a copy for each of the 63 nodes. They are created dynamically as you call/use them.
