Hi Thanks for your replay Neville D I will re-organize my code to your recomendation at a later stage. I actually solved my problem, i had done a blunder in the NP_serial sub vi. I did not close all ports properly when closing application so when I tried the exe-file the ports were already occupied. I also did som chages in the build properties, I put the NP_Serial in "always included". -kl

Hi you all, I have been searching all over this forum trying to find how I reference a sub vi when compiled to exe-file, i mean to be able to show/close front panel of the sub vi. It runs nicely from project but not when compiled. The sub vi is just a serial port reader, showing buffers, error messages etc. At the moment I'm able to open sub vi (NP_Serial) running the EXE file, but the VISA reports an argument error. If I delete Static VI ref. the NP_Serial is working fine, but i'm not able to show the Front Panel when using EXE file. I have also been trying the open.method but with the same result. Anyone hwo can help me out? I know i can use the custom settings - "show when called", but that is not convinient for me as the sub vi is called every loop from the top vi. regards Kenneth

QUOTE (jgcode @ May 27 2008, 02:06 PM) It's jsut the way the clusters are arranged on the block diagram. It's going to be a lot of wires around. But I guess it's better than the other solution with reference/propoerty nodes then.

I have several clusters on the main vi that holds user settings for charts (i.e target value, upper/lower limit etc). I have created references to each cluster. I will use this references in a sub vi that will write currect settings to a INI file by using the OpenG. The method I have been used is to link the cluster reference to subvi as a refnum, then property node to get the cluster values that is written to the INI file. I find this a bit difficult, especially to keep control of which clusters referred to wich refnum. Anybody know a better way of doing this? Thanks!
