using local variables

[Ajb181]

trying to use a simple local buffer to get an interger value and use it some where else. any help?

It's hard to give specifics without more information. What is it exactly that you are trying to do?

Simply Rt Click on the integer & select Create -->> Local Variable, thats it... Use it elsewhere in your program.

If you are using a state machine, here is another way to create local variables.  Create a cluster with all local variables that you need.  Wire into a shift register.  Use Unbundle to get the value and Bundle to change the value.  See code below:

In LV the way you get data from one part of a diagram to another is through a wire. If you are contemplating using local variables because the diagram is too large or the wiring is getting too messy, you have a more fundamental problem than how to access a given data value. Your code needs to be redesigned to decompose it onto reusable modules. One of the major causes of instability in a program is the presence of race conditions created by utilizing local variables.
