event structure, remove and default

[Joseph Oravec]

Two questions:

1. Can the event structure (6.1) be removed like the other structures
without deleting the stuff inside? I didn't see it on the right-click menu
so I just replaced with a while loop and then removed the while loop in two
steps. You can delete individual cases but not the structure as far as I
could see.

2. On an event structure an output is allowed to "Use default if unwired"
but I am not quite sure how to specify the default value. I didn't see a
default in the edit events list. Hints?

1. The next version of Labview will probably have the "Remove Event Structure" option you desire. Hopefully it's not too inconvenient to use the two-step method for now.

2. LabVIEW does not offer an option to change the default values for structure output tunnels. The following default values are set for these data types:

Boolean: False
Numeric: 0
String: Empty String
VISA Channel Strings: Empty String
An array or cluster will return an array or cluster with the default values of the data types in the array or cluster.
