coercion dot

[hiNI]

Hello,

Can you tell me why the coercion dot is present in the top level VI (Vi1)?

Also, is it possible to get rid of that coercion dot?

Thanks,

hiNi.

In the top level VI you have a strict type control reference.  In the sub-vi you have a standard.

...which is an (albeit minor) issue in and of itself. Just use the strict typedef in the subVI. There is no penalty and the typedef can do what it is supposed to do: define the data structure throughout the application.

Yes. right-click the static reference in the main VI and "Create control". Drag the new control to the subVI front panel and use it as replacement for the existing reference input (don't forget to hook it up in the connector pane).

No more coercion dot! 😄
