Send data from Edit SubStep to OI

[CRoebuck]

Hi folks,

I've got some information I'd like to send from an Edit Substep to a LabVIEW user interface that provides (amongst other things) a custom sequence editor.

What's the preferred way? UIMessage ? Flattened data (to Str) via TCP ? 

Cheers

Chris

UIMessage is the default first choice, but that doesn't mean that other alternatives can't be considered if they have an advantage for a situation.

Hi Chris,

i agree, UI messages are best choise, 
this thread gives more information (page2):

Depending on what your are doing, keep in mind that your stuff, especially feedback's from your UI, tiggered by the UI message will not work with NI-SequenceEditor anymore.
So i often have used TS-Queues for sharing data over sequencefile,process and maschine boundaries.
