Inputs/Outputs

  • cgenclassrntag.png cluster in —

    cluster in is the cluster parent object.

  • cstr.png ECU name —

    ECU name is the name of the ECU to create. The name must be unique for all ECUs in a cluster. 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 cluster out —

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

  • igenclassrntag.png ECU out —

    ECU out is the I/O name of the newly created ECU 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 ECU object. It is an instance of the XNET Database Create Object poly VI.

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

    The ECU 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.
