tions for this program in lab windows cvi using field point explorer.I tried to define my functions in at the top of my program on use them in the calls in the main. I have looked at the examples, but I am having trouble trying following the same process.I am trying to make a program that will send a signal my analog output module to release a certain amount of amps.I am using the FP-1000 with the FP-AO-200. When running the program I get one error ten that is focused on one line. The error that the intializer must be constant. I don�t understand want this error means. Below are the problem areas of my Program. I thankful for any help you can offer me.
