Hi Tom,

Just for my education purpose,  I'd like to understand the difference
between the "begin" & "end" control boxes at the "Front Panel" window.
Although they look identical, they must be different since they failed to
wire to the blocks next to them once  I switched them at the block diagram
window (the program window).

--thanks
E

Hi,

After a sub-vi is created, there are two controls created • namely begin
and end.  Would someone explain why they are backwards? • That means,
it creates an "end" control linked to the beginning of the sub-vi,
while the "begin" at the end.

It is a leftover from LabVIEW.  When you create a sub.vi,
LabVIEW reuses the name of whatever is wired to the
control/indicator.  This behavior makes perfect sense in
LabVIEW but much less so in Robolab.  FWIW, the names are
little more than labels and you can change them as you see fit.
