I am new...trying to understand, debug and enhance a rather complex LV Application.
Am
puzzled by the item show in the attached pdf of a vi segment. It looks
like these are queues. But I am puzzled by the folded down "flag" at the
top. And I cannot find where on the pallet to either define or do a
search for this item. Can someone point me in the right
direction....perhaps even to a LV example. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "folded down flag at the top". The top of what? Are you referring to the little "ear" at the top-right corner of the green rectangle? What you have is a queue constant on the block diagram. As to why it's there, I can't tell you without seeing the rest of the code.
yes, I am referring to the small folded down part at the top of the rectangle. This queue constant (thanks for telling me what it is) is used to source a value into a case structure. Where the queue constant is set/populated I do not know (but am trying to trace). It is present in the top level vi. I think it gets altered from another separate group of vi's. I will now search further to see if this is what is happening.
If I had to guess I'd suspect the original code probably just right-clicked on the queue indicator that may have been connected to the Obtain Queue function and selected Create -> Constant, and got themselves a queue constant of the desired data type. Although it appears that you may have modified the queue's element datatype, and now the constant now longer matches.
