Dynamic binding of shared variables to front panel controls

[wgeithner]

I am using numeric indicators for monitoring actual values of devices. These actual values are provided by shared variables visible in DSM. I can bind these shared variables to the control via

Right Click on control >> Properties >> Data Binding

>> Data Binding Selection = Shared Variable Engine (NI-PSP)

>> Access Type = Read

>> Path = SV Path

This works fine. However, I would like to populate the data binding dynamically from a database (I don't want to change the program code if the hardware / shared variable environment changes). I tried to realize this functionality by the following code (the BindingPath is provided in parts by the database):

When executing this code I get an error message:

Hello  wgeithner,

I'm sending you a link that can be helpful.

Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable - NI

Refer to the Front Panel Data Binding section, where you might find useful information.

Best Regards.
