global and DataSocket

[vicens]

My problem is this:
I have to do readings of several machines. The reading is done through a serial communication (and therefore I use the VISA function). These readings are collected by an agent (in this example, Simul machines.vi) which is responsible for distributing, via DataSocket, the reading of each machine to the corresponding agent (DS 1.vi and DS 2.vi).
So far it works perfectly.

The problem arises when I want to view all variables in each of the readings (in this example, "status"):

I 've created another agent (monitor.vi) who reads the array (global variable). This array contains the "status" variable in each of the agents on each machine.

Why it doesn't works?

I enclose a simple example. Run Simul machines.vi (Requires Data socket)

Thanks

I've solved the problem, but I don't understand my solution:

I needed to insert in the two cases (true and false) the function "Replace array subset".

Why? Is not similar placing the function outside the case structure?

Hi vicens

It isn't possible to execute your code because you haven't included subVI "cut message.vi". Please, attach it.

ups...

The image of the code you posted

is very similar to the example shown below

THe above images shows a BAD construct and was posted as part of my Action Engine Nugget to illustrate a Race Condition.

Please review that nugget to see how an Action Engine will prevent race conditions.

Just trying to help,
