Create a new dynamic signal (signal within a multiplexed subframe).

Inputs/Outputs

  • cgenclassrntag.png subframe in —

    subframe in is the subframe parent object.

  • cstr.png signal name —

    signal name is the name of the signal to create. The name must be unique for all signals in a frame in which the subframe parent was defined, including the static signals and the multiplexer signal. Lowercase letters (a–z), uppercase letters (A–Z), numbers, and the underscore (_) are valid characters for the name. The space ( ), period (.), and other special characters are not supported within the name. The name must begin with a letter (uppercase or lowercase) or underscore, and not a number. The name is limited to 128 characters.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

  • igenclassrntag.png subframe out —

    subframe out is a copy of the subframe in parameter. You can use this parameter to wire the VI to subsequent VIs.

  • igenclassrntag.png signal out —

    signal out is I/O name of the newly created signal object.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

    • Description

    This VI creates an XNET dynamic signal object. It is an instance of the XNET Database Create Object poly VI.

    The signal name input becomes the Name (Short) property of the created object. This is distinct from the string contained within signal out, which uses the syntax described in XNET Signal I/O Name.

    The signal object is created and remains in memory until the database is closed. This VI does not change the open database file on disk. To save the newly created object to the file, use the XNET Database Save VI.

    Dynamic Signal is transmitted in the frame when the multiplexer signal contains the multiplexer value defined in the subframe.

    In NI-CAN, dynamic signals were called mode-dependent channels.
