I recently created
my first XControl by following the recipe in the
temp-example.
It worked nicely,
but for one thing. When I initialized my XControl in my LabVIEW program
via
a local variable,
this would not work, except when I run the program under highlighted
execursion.
After some back and
forth with NI, I've been informed that this is becuase of a race
condition.
My local is written
to, but immidiatley after, it is overwritten by the XControls initialization
routine.
Possible fixes are,
as NI correctly has informed me, to either put a wait x ms in the
beginnning
of the main program,
or to use a notifier function in the XControls initialization, and check this in
the beginning of
the main program.
In my opinion,
ideally this should be handled internally in the XControl ONLY in some way, and
be
transparent to the
program
using the XControl.
And I would like to
ask NI to consider this problem before next release.
Other comments ?
