Lookup or add Variant attribute using IPE example


Recommended Posts

I saw some mild performance benefit from using the IPE for variant look ups instead of the primitives, but I remember it being a bit of a pain to test and use at times.  I think something about creating an attribute if it didn't exist.  Maybe it was just the way I was trying to use them.

Edit: found my speed tests on the dark side for writing and reading attributes, it seems writing is going to be faster with the primitive, but a read that does nothing but return the value, is slower with an IPE than the primitive.  Of course I'm sure NI intended on this feature being used where you perform a read, manipulate the data, and write it back in the same structure, which will probably result in even better performance.
