Extending Data Operations..

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 6 kudos within 6 years after posting will be automatically declined.

While debugging, we often feel the necessity to save data from different constants/controls/indicators for future use. At present, we copy them to a new VI, give it a label and use them whenever required. Wouldn't it be great if LabVIEW handled most of that? Also, this could be extended to Wires: "Save data in wire to Datastore"

Inclusion of this feature will reduce a number of mouse clicks and window switches while debugging.

Have you played with the "Enable Database" popup option on a subVI call? If not, drop any subVI on a diagram, popup on it and select "Enable Database". Then read the online help about it. I definitely do NOT think that the feature is what you're asking for, but it might give you some ideas about how you'd like to interact with this database that you're proposing.
