data.ctl

A data.ctl is connected with a state machine. I deleted the data.ctl file by mistake, now I want to create another one, but I didn't find the function.   Can anyone tell me how to create a data.ctl?

Hi cantata,

 

create a control for that wire. Then save that control as (new) typedefinition…

Best regards,

Hi, there was an independant data.ctl file before, but I deleted it by mistake.  Now the front panel looks like this:

The previous settings are still there, but they can't be used. How can I make them real and save as type definition?

If you've got a picture of the Control (like you attached), simply open a new VI, drop down a blank Cluster on the Front Panel, and start building.  Start with a Boolean Control, name it Run?.  Find where you use the WANL Reference (on your Block Diagram) and create a Control there, name it WANL ref and add the Control (on the Front Panel) to the Cluster, add a Numeric called Counter, etc.  When you have the Cluster all made, right-click it and "Make Type Def".  Now open Type Def and do any final editing (maybe name it Data) and save it somewhere with a suitable name.

Or select to disconnect from typedef, select to edit the control, and save it in the control editor.

Is it in the recycle bin?
