HOW TO GET REFFERENCE OF INDICATOR OF TYPE DEF CLUSTRE

[Metachnet]

Have 2 quastions:

1. Have a type def culster of boolian indicators.

    how to extract individual references so I can pass them to sub vi.

2. Since bollian indicators dont latch its value.

    Can I make an array of boolian indicators that will keep its value hen passes to sub vi.

Thanks.

why do you want to pass individual reference to a subvi ? pass cluster reference.

Indicators keep the value what has been assigned to them. what do you mean by indicators do not latch its value.

Have a state machine.

I write TRUE to Boolian Indicator, and then go next to next state.

When I return to the Begining State Machine state again it looks that the boolian lost its previos TRUE value.

Have tried your concept and it provides me with actual value, but I need the individual reference of each element. thanks.

What do you think those skinny little lines connecting the array index and the value property nodes are?

Hey, I re-read my comment and it sounded kinda snarky.  Sorry about that, it was supposed to be silly, not sarcastic.

The example might have been clearer had it included reference indicators instead of ending in property nodes.  That kind of threw you off the track.

Actually the example was to just show how to get reference of individual controls of cluster.

whatever the OP wants to do with refrences its his choice.

Firstly, I got a little confused because you had thanked me and so I thought you were the OP for a moment.

Secondly, though - your example added just enough obfuscation that the OP did not understand that this was actually an exercise to get references from a cluster.

I know you used the property nodes to bring out the reference wires.  If the wires were connected to indicators that said "control reference" it would probably have been clearer.

One thing you should note is that if a pupil does not get the concept you are trying to teach, 99% of the time it is the teacher's fault.

I agree.

But sometimes it is okay to give just an idea or clue of what to do and let OP learn that.

Still i take this as my fault.
