pass cluster into subvi unbundle

[juanni]

I'm trying to un-spaghetti my code by combining subgroups of data and constants into clusters.  I cannot figure out how to pass a cluster into a subvi, however.  I try placing a cluster control in the subvi, assigning it an input terminal and then unbundling, but it will not let me have more than 2 terminals on the unbundle.  Help.

The technique I use is as follows:

In your main VI where you built your cluster create an indicator of it (if you haven't already done so). Ctrl and right drag it to create a copy. Drag the indicator into the subvi's block diagram. Right click this indicator and select change to control. On the front panel assign this control to a space on your connector pane.

Hope this helps

that did it.  Thanks so much.  Why was I unable to find help for that outside of the forum?  I honestly tried searcing the forum and the program help.

I would seriously consider making all of these clusters a typdef.  This will give your code an extra degree of maintainability.  Also give the fields and clusters meaningful names.
