How can I embed Variant To Data in a subVI and pass in the Type input?

If I use Create Control on the Type input of Variant To Data, I get an undefined type error unless I insert a control of a specific type into the cluster control that was created. This seems to prevent passing a parameter into a subVI for this purpose.

I do not see what you mean by "using it or not based on an additional input". What would the output of this function be, if it were "not used"? What exactly are you trying to do?
Personally, I have long wanted a polymorphic data type. If a polymorphic control were connected to a VI's connector pane, it would be defined by the calling VI. Once a calling VI wired a data-type to a polymorphic input of a subVI the type would propogate into the subVI.

With the release of LabVIEW 7, NI has updated App Note 154 to include some more data types (and subtypes). If you haven't seen this, I suggest you take a look.

Do you mean compound data types like clusters and arrays? Almost all data types can be decoded just fine with the available documentation. The only types that are not very straight-forward are the waveform data type, refnums, and typedefs. If you give me an example, perhaps I can help.

I don't agree. LabVIEW may add new types in new versions of LabVIEW, but fundamentally the typecodes and structure of flattened LabVIEW data types have not changed at all (even though NI does reserve the right to change this in future releases of LabVIEW). Do have specific examples of t
his?

  • How can I have two Apple IDs (one from Canada and one from the UK) for the same device?

    I originally bought an iPhone in Canada and had my first Apple ID while there. I still want to have this account, as there are some Canadian apps that I wish to have and keep updating. However, I am now living in the UK - yet when I try to search for apps that all of my friends have I can't find them because they are particular to Britain. Do I need an new Apple ID for the UK, and is it possible to have both Apple IDs feeding into the same iTunes account?
    Thanks for any insight!

    If you want to move your iCloud account to another existing ID you'll have to delete the existing account, set up a new account with the other ID, then upload your data to the new account.  To do this, begin by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the new account with your other ID and turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new account.  Note: this will not migrate your photo stream photos.  You will need to save these prior to deleting the existing account.

    Hello adilx
    The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    Regards,

  • How can I transfer all my data including SMS to my mac/windows computer?

    My friend has asked me to help her transfer all the data from her iPhone 3GS to a computer then to a hard drive. She has several folders with pictures in but image capture on mac is only picking up the one. I have an iPhone 4S and iPad 3 installed already on iTunes so don't want to accidentally erase her phone.
    She also needs some of the SMS messages taking off of her phone and saving either as they are or in some form of text file so they are readable in the future.
    How can I retrieve all this data including the messages without losing anything and can it be done for free?
    If you need anymore info please just ask and I'll try and pass it on to the best of my (limited) knowledge.
    Thanks in advance!

    SHe can also do a backup of her phone and it will save the text message, but she won't be able to view the text unless she restores to the backup.

  • How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

    How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
    It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

    I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
    Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder.  Just use that.

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?
