Reference of array element

[dave6k]

I have a VI where the front panel contains a table of parameters. Each row in the table contains a number of controls (booleans, integers, etc.) that I would like to bundle into a cluster, and then create an array corresponding to the rows in the table. The data from each entry in the table is passed into a subVI that configures an object and transmits the object as a CAN message. The subVI is reentrant, and each row has its own corresponding call to the subVI. The subVI remains active until the user stops the transmission.

What I would like to do is set up a for loop that indexes the above-mentioned array and calls the subVI for each iteration. However, because some controls on the main front panel table can be changed live (to control stopping and starting a transmission), I have to pass a couple boolean references to the subVI so that when the values change on the front panel, the subVI gets the changes immediately. And as far as I know I cannot get a reference to the boolean when it is an element of a cluster of an array.

Is there another possible solution for this?

Thanks,

Dave

Well you could have a 'Reference' manager, that holds all the references for each row.

It also listens for value change events, figures out which row was changed and load the correct values into the right reference.
