wire conflict

[lvrat]

Hello,

I am trying to set the value of numeric using property node but receive wire conflict error. The data type passed from the class is also DBL and it is a indicator which is wired out. What is causing wire conflict?

Thanks

Can you attach the actual code? Does the indicator have units?

[lvrat]

Oh yes that is correct. The PT1 strict reference has units but the indicator passed from Class #7 VI does not have units. Didn't know units would show the wire conflict?

The error message flat out told you there was a unit conflict.  And of course that is an error.  You don't want to put Amps into an indicator that says Volts.  But this sort of thing is exactly why I don't use units myself.

From what I understand from reading the forums, the whole units thing is clunky and probably best to leave alone.  To me, it feels like the only reason why it still exists is for backwards compatibility.
