how to replace extra local variables

[hellolv]

It seems I got way too many local variables in my VI.  Is there any way I can replace them with a data server?

What do you mean by this?  I dont know such anything in LV. All I know is VI Server.

You can use SRs to reduce the no. of locals (or even eliminate it).  

Or, post your code & we may try to help you out in a better way.

Thansk for the response.  What are SR's?

It's a shift register.

I need to pass value across different while loops.  Can shift registers accomplish that?

Not to undermine your knowledge or make you fun of, just curious...

Do you not really know what SR means colloquially after some years of LV programming... ?!

This can be achieved by Queues.

What is your overall architecture?

[Broken_Arrow]

Sometimes, when writing applications very fast (such as in the lab hunkered over a machine in 95% humidity) I might pepper the code with local variables like you have done, but 95% of them will get replaced with Shift Registers, Notifiers, or Queues when I get 15 minutes to clean up the code.

Read up on Producer / Consumer archetecture.

If the while loop is a little oversized, any other suggestions on how I can pass data?

[hellolv]

Got about two dozens of while loops running in parallel and bunch of data needs to be flowing back and forth between them.
