what is my variable?

See what I mean?

Not really. What is that supposed to show? All I see is a bunch of defines. Are those of a specific datatype? If you're using some sort of enumeration inside your framework, then all you need to do (if you use the OpenG function) is to convert the enum from one value to another value, the latter matching the enumeration inside your framework. A simple case structure in the LabVIEW code would accomplish this.

Yes, each one is for a specific data type. Fortunately, I only need three: string, int and float.

[smercurio_fc]

OK. So, have your questions been answered, or are you looking for something else?

[exo]

I think so. Thanks.
