Hi, I am very new to Labview and my first assignment is to maintain an existing Labview 7.1 application. This application is quite large, poorly built, and violates every single style rule presented in The Labview Style Guide. In any event I am trying to fix a bug regarding interval timing of calibrations and have concluded that there is no way to make the existing code work. I have found the Bloomy Controls and the interval vi has exactly the functionality I need. However I have a few questions.
When I open the vi I get this error: "Interval uses data range coercion, which now only applies to data entry; values will not be coerced when passed to subVIs. To coerce passed values, use the In Range and Coerce function." Is this something I need to fix before proceeding? If so, how do I fix this?
Next I am unsure how to integrate this vi into the existing application. Currently this functionality is attempted by a wildly desperate parts spread over a block diagram which is approximately 1 Meter x 2.5 meters in size. It uses global variables, strings, a myriad of local variables, seemingly random separate mathematic functions. Is my best avenue to wrap this into a non-reentrant sub-vi and create a small cadre of global & local variables, and then use these variables to replace the old ones all over the place? Or is there some more palatable solution I'm missing?
If it would be helpful I could post snippet jpegs of the old code in question.
Thanks!
