How I can see cluster updates of a VI in the main?

[mBell]

when i'm going to save for previous version, doesn't appear 7.0, the early is 8.0

I have written a small code and check it. It will help u in debugging your code.

Run the Main vi and observe the cluster indicator.

[mBell]

ok, thank you very much!! I'm trying it in my code.

Try running these vi. In Main.vi the cluster is updated continuously by reading value from the global variable. After going through your question,I understand you are trying to pass data from one VI to another. There are multiple techniques for sharing data among vi.

Thanks Tentatum! I have the 8.6 version. Could you convert the files?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone, this is a great help for me.

Finally I used the option Rajashekar because i can't use other button.

But I have another question, cluster updates are done in a subVI that is inside another subVI and  this is inside the main. How can do the correct reference?

as before i need the updates in the main.

[RavensFan]

Pass the cluster reference from inside the first subVI down to the subVI below that, just like you did from the main VI to the first subVI.

Definitely a bit more complex but you may want to look at passing the data updates to the UI (main.vi) using a queue, notifier or user event. Once you start getting  a little deeper with where the updates need to happen passing references starts to tihtly couple your code and reduces the ability to reuse the code. I generally do not recommend using global variables either. This again couples you code and if used incorrectly can lead to race conditions.

totally yes!..after streamlining a vi i did 2 years ago by using locals, ive noticed it was getting harder and harder to debug,"like chasing my tail?" and NI likes to promote loose coupling...

have a look at the NI shipped Examples...Notifier Demultiplexer.vi and Queue Multiplexer.vi to get an idea of what mark is explaining here...
