I need more then the maximum amount of connector terminals

[cutekittenkyti]

I have a subVI that has 32 items that needed to be wired to the connector (16 input 16 output)

However, the pattern with the most amount of terminals only has 28, I need four more.

Is there anyway to make a custom pattern for connector terminals?

Or I notice on property nodes, they sometimes can have a LOT of terminals, would that let me exceed the maximum labview is limiting me to

Or do I have to make global variables or something?

That could work for a couple but I'll still run out of room

Anyone have any suggestions??

reconsider the function design if you find you need more than 16 IO.  Ideally you should have at most 8 + error IO, from my experience.  Consider clustering multiple inputs into logical groupings.  Its a good idea to typedef these clusters to make it easy for maintaining your application.

Hi cutekitte...,

I fully agree with Paul.

Just some questions:

Have you ever seen a function (in any  kind of programming language) that uses more than 32 IO arguments???

And how do you want to wire more than 32 IO on a 32*32 pixel icon?
