passing data between VI's

[harsh_electro]

Hi Freinds,

I want to acess the data of one Vi (which is local to that loop) in the other loop ,How can i do this ?

My both Vis are running in parellal.

There are a number of ways:

1 Set up a Q, and write data in one VI and read a Q element from the other VI.

2 Use a Notifier. When you have data, notify it to the other VI. With notifiers there is no caching of data (like a Q) so if you don't listen when its sent, it will be missed.

3 Use a Global between the two VI's.

And if you have to take the easy way out and use a global, don't use a LabVIEW global. Read up on LV2 or Functional globals, which are VI's that retain information in between calls (so they can be called anywhere to access that information, thus making them global). Regular LabVIEW globals are in general, a bad idea.

Edited to add, btw...... this is probably in the wrong forum. Maybe the sysadmins can move it.

Since I see you are new to LabView you may not be familiar with all the terms discussed.

here is a simple vi I built a while back that shows the various ways to transfer data between loops.

I would personally recommend learning to use Queues.

functionals second

and locals only when you have to. (Writing to a Input Control)

good luck
