Specifies the value of a named control or indicator. You can wire a value of any data type to this method.
reference in
A reference to a VI.
Use Open VI Reference or Static VI Reference to obtain a valid reference for this input.
control value
Value of the control or indicator you want.
control name
Label for the control or indicator whose value you want.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
error in does not contain an error |
error in contains an error |

 |
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out. |
If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out. |
Default: No error
reference out
Unchanged reference to the same VI.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Using Set Control Value
This node requires the referenced VI to have a panel. To use this node to retrieve data from an application, make sure you include the panel when you build the application.
Where This Node Can Run:
Desktop OS: Windows
FPGA:
This product does not support FPGA devices
Web Server: Not supported in VIs that run in a web application
