• WHAT, exactly, is complictaed about THIS?? Especiially compared to setting up/wiring queues or two action engines. I'd say this is less compicated. There may be a performance hit, maybe a mS, but this is the neatest way to update front panel stuff inside a sub-VI, and has been recommended / demoed to me by NI.

Hi,

Broken arrow it is working fine what ever you suggested. Thank you very much.

I have one more doubt, to update latest status message keeping the old one i am using following. Is it OK? will affect my program execution or speed?

The way you have it there Raj, your message will look like this (where "Your_Status" is the Status message)..

Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1 Your_Status
Operation 1

... probably not what you want?

Hi,

Probably my way is...

i will be using sequence structures in a subvi, in which in each sequence i will be performing certain operation which i need to display that operation in the status message without overwriting.

Like my status indicator will be

Operation 1 performing

Operation 2 peforming

Operation 3 performing

checking for the results

storing the results

The above information i want to display in status indicator, in which each message will be in each sequence.

Regards,

Rajashekar

Well, one of your problems (a big one) is relying on Sequence Structures in general.

I have attached another example, this one uses Queues. You should find what you need in the message sending routine, but according to your response, I think you need to study/read about LabVIEW program flow.
