I have attached a project. There are 3 VIs, 2 VIs under the class Test Class, i.e Write and Read. A numeric control in write and an numeric indicator in read. Then these sub vis are then copied into the main project, which is outside the class where I wired a numeric control to the write vi and numeric indicator from the read vi. Now I run the program continuously using while loop. Now when I enter a value in write I need the read to show the values. But nothing is happen. I am doing this as a test to another project where I enter values in one point and I get the values at another point during a special case. For that to work, I need to make this work first. Also please I donot want to use functional global variables. It has to be object oriented programming and class because I am trying to understand oop. I have done a some reading and I thought i know how oop works and now I know i dont know anything. Kindly do help me. Thanks in advance.

LabVIEW

Write and Read VIs need to work at 2 locations

But from what I have heard it is not possible. The only way to do that is to connect the first VI to the second VI, but then they cant be in 2 different cases. So can it be done by any method or this is the only way to do it.

Parallel VIs need by reference objects if they need to asynchronously access the data. Everything we said about loops is the same for parallelly executed VIs.

At this level, you can thing of the object (the instantiated class) as a cluster. So splitting the cluster in two wires will get you two clusters. Instantiating the cluster twice will also get you two objects.

OO is not the problem here, nor the solution. OO doesn't change anything about the wireflow paradigm that LabVIEW uses.

If you want or (doubtfully) need asynchronous access, you do need to do things by reference, or by some sort of buffer, like a FGV, Global, 1 elm. queue, etc..

It depends highly on your exact situation what would fit best. We don't have enough information.

Lets get back to the beginning of your remark:

I have two sub VIs and both these VIs work in the main VI. One VI accepts data and other VI at another position in the MAIN VI maybe in a different case need to ouptut the data that other VI accepted.

So why can't the writer send the (measurement) data as a scaler object? This can be done in a (user) event, a queue, a channel wire, or even by filling a FGV\buffer. The main can then wait for the queue elements, events, or poll the buffer at it's own pace.

To me, this reflects what actually happens much better then any by reference solution.
