Hi Jonas,
I couldn't kill 70, but only 50 variables...
The diagram looks less readable now, however. Partly that can be repaired by
better wiring.
Another good recommendation (which came up already in another answer this
thread) is to group variables by clustering them. I did it in one case in
the attached example.
Partly the problems with too many locals arise because you use some
variables in a double function, as control and indicator. This may be very
embarrasing to a user. But if you decide to do it that way you can't avoid
locals especially if you want to update them frequently in a loop.
In general one can often not avoid locals, at least in a user interface VIs
like yours is.
Many of the arguments why locals should be a
voided apply to their usage
within an non user-interface VI..
