How to use a vi inside another vi

[KumarR]

Hi friends,

I am using a vi that uses another vi inside it. I made some changes inside the second vi that is inside the main vi. My problem is that the changes I made in the second vi doesn't show up in the main vi.

I have attached both vi's below.

Main vi is named : staticMeasurementWithPre-NullingNEW.vi

second vi that is inside this is: forces summation_Yuki.vi

I added LC-5 nulling, LC-6 nulling, LC-5 Loaded, LC-6 Loaded, S and My in forces summation_Yuki.vi

But I am not able to see corresponding terminals when I access this vi in the main vi staticMeasurementWithPre-NullingNEW.vi

I am using LabView 8.6.

Would you please see into it.

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

I would suggest to do some basic LV training...

After doing so you should know, what a connector pane is and how to connect controls/indicators to it. Then you should also have learned, that using the max connector number isn't the recommended way (as you could connect upto 28 in/outputs). Just adding controls on the frontpanel doesn't make them availabe to the main vi...

I would suggest grouping your inputs in arrays (all those LC-x values could go in an array) and clusters (all those Mx, a/b and L/S/T could go in their cluster). That way you would have 2 or 3 inputs and just 2 outputs. Using clusters you could easily access the content with an UnbundleByName node...

Yes Making cluster is suggested I have attached the VI there i have used the cluster. In the Main VI you can un bundle it and use it.You can take it as an example.

Hi Kumar,

I would ditto what GerdW said, you would benefit in the long run if you done training, this way you will be more adept are creating more complex vi's in the future.

Try running through some of the tutorials we provide online. They are extremely helpful.
