FileGlobal variable

[vato]

Sorry but I failed to find answer here so far.

I declared a FileGlobal empty number array that I would like to populate from 1 sequence and plot in another sequence.

The plot sequence is running in a separate is set to run in a new execution so that as various tests are performed the UI Plots are updated as the new data is being measured.

So far the only way I have found to get this to work is to go to right click the variable and select advanced / edit flags and turn on the Shared flag.

I did not need to do this with Station Globals but I dont want to use Station Globals for this case.

Somehow I am missing something or is the way I got to work the only way?

By default, fileglobals are not shared across executions. Some other options you have besides the shared flag are to use a new thread instead of a new execution, or select the SequenceFile Properties>>Sequence File Globals>>All Executions Share the Same File Globals option.

Thanks for the reply James. Guess I misunderstood the real scope for FileGlobals. BTW are there any issues besides the usual ones for any global with setting the Flag to shared?
