Globals are equally evil

Hi Norbert,
you are right. I enlarge the rules. I only win without using locals and globals, but the result is the same, i always win.

I have 2 indicators. If any one of the indicator got a value other than zero, the vi should stop running  . I tried to achieve but in vain.  please give me a sample structure.

As Ben suggested, the problem is most likely due to a race condition because you are using Local Variables that are read before new values are written to them, thus if they are initialized to zero, it will read zero.

Wire directly.

I aggree that this example code, is an example to be avoided, about using local variables.

But i dissagree, that they are evil. They are many, even in the Labview examples.

It is not always possible to have a wire. You just have to be carefull, how you use them.

If you don't use local variables at all, you will be forced to use a few more sub-vis, or a notifier, or something.. That makes the program bigger, and a little slower.

I use the fewer i can, and with caution.. but i use them and i like them..

With all due respect to the NI engineers and programmers that have written subVIs and examples for LabVIEW, there are many instances of poorly written code and code that breaks NI's own guidelines on how to write a LabVIEW program.

Why are you using Local Variables?  Don't tell me that they are the same as the indicators coming out of the two sub-vi's!!

If there is nothing evil, how do you that something is good????

JLV views his threads in reverse order (newset to oldest) so I suspect he was already fired up and posting before he got down to (or up to) your post.

Here have some well earned stars for "fighting the war on Locals".

"If there is nothing evil, how do you that something is good????  "

Getting philosophical on us are you?

Its easy if you do not look at good as the oposite of evil but rather define good as the absence of evil.

Hmmmm?
