Inputs/Outputs

  • cgenclassrntag.png frame in —

    frame in is the frame 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. 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 frame out —

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

  • igenclassrntag.png signal out —

    signal out is the 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 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.
