Hi Friends,

what could stop an element from giving signal to its local variable

Hi gerry,

afaik nothing. Where do you use a local variable and why? Can you explain please? Maybe there is a better way for you.

One way is not to use Locals.

There are many ways to avoid them.  If you post your code, maybe we can help.

My guess is that you have a wire going through a tunnel and the value on the other side cannot be determined until the structure that has the tunnel actually completes.

A typical example is when you tunnel out of a loop (or sequence) to the terminal's local. The local will not get updated until the loop or sequence finsihes. To update one's own local, you need to be within the same loop, or have a parallel process. No tunneling.

Hi again Friends

i thank u all for ur fast reply. attached is the VI and the problem is, that when the motor nears the sensor(reference sensor) the Round LED at the Frontpanel shows
but the local variable(DI9_Ax_RefB) shows  false.


regards again All

Right-click on your local variable and do a "find terminal". You will find that it points to a terminal with a similar name that is not connected to anything.
