"Variant to Data" in a SubVi

[Guia]

Hello,

Does someone know, how do i use the "Variant to Data" function in a SubVi, or simply a variant, so that the subVi output wire automaticaly adapts to my indicator?

Thank you!

You cannot do this with a subVI. You can only achieve this behaviour with http://forums.lavag.org/XNodes-f88.html' target="_blank">XNodes.

Thanks .. That a point where it's starting to be complicate, isn't it

You could use a polymorphic VI that has different output types, and create one for every type you want to use. You'd also have to manually switch between them, or create a 'type' input terminal that would pick with instance you're using.

Not the elegant solution you're looking for, but it's less confusing than XNodes

That's an understatement

Indeed, this sounds better for me... Not that i dont want to know how xnodes are working, i just dont have enough time to learn

I've been hearing things about Xnods being Rated X

Well if I have followed the news about Xnodes well, they work a lot like XControls for front panel items, so XControls are a good way to start to learn!

Can LV go that far????!!!

I must be a PG-13 LV kinda guy. I'm still just wading ankle-deep in the R-rated world of variants.

I would've expected all of LV to be rated G. ;-)
