ThreadSafe Variable in CVI

[lee2109]

I am just starting out with ThreadSafe variables and I have no problem with them as long as I am within the same file. How do you use them in multiple files?

in main.cpp

typedef struct

{

 ...

} X;

DefineThreadSafeVar(X, tmp);

in main() I Initialize it

I can have routines in the main.cpp file that use GetPointer to and ReleasePointer to with no problem,

but I have a timer in another file that needs to access that data. If it was just a normal variable, I know that extern X tmp would work.

How do you do that?

Thanks in advance!!
