String to PSP Variable?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I was hoping that I could programmatically buid up a shared variable path, and then use the Read Variable VI to read a value.

 

Unfortunately, while I can convert a PSP Variable into a string, I can't do the reverse. The output of the String to Shared Variable VI is not recognized by the Read Variable VI. I tried to convert it to a PSP Variable using To More Specific Class, but LabVIEW wouldn't allow it either.

Is there a way to convert a string into a programmatically-readable shared variable?

 

Thanks!
