I'm not sure I like this because of the use of Knight which can mean something else.  And Overlord implies I use globals, but still I like having a scale from Peasant to Overlord.

Slave?  Plebeian?  Priest?  Prince? Squire?  I'm sure we can come up with some other good names.

[Hooovahh]

Well i couldn't think of any other ones at the time.

That's why I'm helping you brainstorm.

This one I agree with for the most part.  I mean with these images we have no clue how these functions are actually being used for, but would a CLAD actually use a queue to set a value?  And the CPI would most certainly teach to the students level, and in that case global maybe mentioned.  Looking back on the LabVIEW course I tought I never had native globals in an assignment.  I talked about them and demonstrated them, but made it clear how a functional global had more flexibility and is generally prefered.

I agree, as a CLAD I currently abuse queues for trans-VI data exchange. 😉

And I actually use boolean queues quite often.

That being said, I ought to get back to sample tests, recert's tomorrow! 😉

When ever I find my self using a boolean queue I try to think if a Semaphore or Occurrence can do my task for me.  If I started with a boolean and expect the type to change then that's a reason to stay with a queue.  In most other cases I realize other message strategies are simpler.

Aren't occurrences deprecated in favor of notifiers?

And I did consider other options and found queues the best way - I am essentially transporting binary data, not "flags".
