Hello,
i have done a labview program which controls six different test machines.
the different tests are VIs which are kept by the main program in an array of static references. this way i have to write the vi only once. afterwards i create six different references of the same vi, each of them managing one test machine.
everything is working fine. the only drawback I have found, is how to create the six references of each VI.
the first thing I tried, was to locate the static reference function inside a loop. I enabled indexing, and i expected to obtain an array of six different references of the same vi. unfortunately this is not working: i obtain an array with six times the same reference.
to fix this, i located the static reference function inside a switch with six cases. all of this, inside the same loop. i have to use the static reference function six times, one for each test machine. this is working, but is more work. everytime a add a new test vi, I have to add the switch with the six cases. it is a lot of copy & paste work, and errors are likely to be done doing this.
I would like to know if there is any other (and simpler) way of obtaining this array.
enclosed you find an example showing this: the upper loop creates an array of six references but all of them are the same. the other one, uses a switch-case so that different references are generated.
thank you in advance
