Error cluster constant appears different in two locations on a block diagram

Solved!
Go to solution

I am a newbie to LabVIEW. I have taken Core 1 & 2 and Machine Vision and I have not com across this before.

 

Error Cluster.JPGThe image on the right is obviously an Error cluster constant used in the block diagram to create an Error cluster and wire it to an error out terminal. As far as I can tell the image on the left is about the same thing, but why does it look different? The different appearance causes raises a concern that there is a difference in behavior that I do not understand. LabVIEW help suggets that both are Error constants. When I create a new error constant, it always ends up appearing like the right image above.  I have not been able to create someting looking like the image on the left.

 

Could someone please confirm what the image on the left is on a blck diagram?

 

Thanks,

Bill

The image on the left is an error cluster control. It has a front panel presence and can be set either via the front panel or through a property node or local variable. The image on the right is an error cluster constant. It is a static value.
