I'm working with DQMH modules and have encountered a challenge that I hope someone can help me with.
In DQMH, each module comes with a set of default requests, such as "Stop Module." Normally, to stop a module, I would call the Stop Module.vi from that module's public API. However, when I have a monitor module that tracks all running modules and I want to stop all of them from this monitor, I need to call the Stop Module.vi for each individual module. This means referencing multiple VIs from different libraries—even though they all perform essentially the same function but in the context of their respective modules.
What I'm aiming for is a generic monitor that can stop any registered module without having to invoke each module's specific Stop Module.vi. I'd like to achieve this without recompiling or modifying existing modules (I'm using PPLs).
I've noticed that in the HSE Flavored DQMH, there's a method to retrieve default broadcast events generically, which is great for monitoring purposes. But I'm struggling with finding a way to send default requests—like "Stop Module"—to modules in a generic way.
So my question is: How can I create a mechanism that allows my monitor to send default requests to any module generically, without directly referencing each module's public API VIs? Essentially, I want to invoke default requests (such as "Stop Module" or any other default event) on any registered module without the need for recompilation or specific dependencies.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before, or does anyone have suggestions on how to implement such a generic request-sending mechanism within the DQMH framework?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
