Control/ Indicators missing on block diagram

Hi,

 

I am unable to locate the control/ indicator on block diagram. They appear as blue line. Can't figure out what's going on. 

Please find the attached images.

Thanks!

There's only one image. (And there are better ways to create screenshots than to use your mobile phone…)

 

Why don't you right-click the control and select Find->Terminal?

Best regards,

Hi vrbhavz,

 

how large is your block diagram? (Tools->Profile->VI metrics)

 

Best regards,

Hi vrbhavz,

 

"Show statistics for" "Diagram", then look for diagram width/height…

Hi vrbhavz,

 

as expected: the block diagram is too large. Point.

 

(Anything larger than ~16k in width/height leads to block diagram corruption. Your block diagram is 4 times too large.)

 

Solution:

  • Create a backup of the current code.
  • Delete the current code.
  • Start over from scratch and create new code according requirements while applying good LabVIEW style guide rules.

 

Best regards,
GerdW

I have a feeling that this VI is mostly just a sequence structure...

Yes, that's correct. I have lot of sequence structures. I can't avoid them. 

Deleting and redoing will not meet the dead line. Is there an alternative solution?
