Sharing variable between computer and CompactRIO

[Billy331]

I am trying to share 4 variables from a host computer(write) to a compactrio(read). I am new to labview so the easier it is to understand the better. Thanks

[Frabto]

shared Variable is one option..

[Billy331]

I put these in but they are all reading 0 Should I have RT FIFO enabled and should I store them in the computer or CRIO side

You shouldn't need to enable RT FIFO unless you would like that functionality.  You can find more information on the different types and functionality of Shared Variables in this link.

It is recommended to store the Shared Variables on the cRIO as it is more reliable if connection is lost the shared variables can continue to update properly.

For good troubleshooting steps with Shared Variables I would recommend this article.
