PDA Module does not display controls within clusters

[Father Priest]

I wrote a Labview PDA program where I placed my display controls within a cluster. When I ran the program on the PDA all the controls were displayed properly except for those placed within a cluster. There was a big empty space where the cluster should have been. In Short, controls placed in open space are visible and work fine, those that are in cluster space don not. Is there a setting that I need to change to make these visible?

Hello Father Priest,

The behavior that you're seeing is actually expected; the current PDA module does not support array and cluster controls and indicators appearing on the front panel of PDA VIs at run-time. If you want more information on this topic, you can view the latest version of the LabVIEW PDA User Manual. This information is found on page 5-5.

Assuming that you are using a cluster of controls because you have your data stored in a cluster as well, you can work around this PDA limitation by unbundling the values from the cluster and then passing them directly to controls (that are not organized in a cluster).

Hope this helps!
