  sub-vi begin vs end control
 
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. Thank in (...)

  Re: sub-vi begin vs end control
 
(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

When you place a control/indicator on the front panel a corresponding terminal is created on (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi, This is a *minor* bug in RoboLab. The sub-vi diagram will have begin and end terminal labels swapped, but the program will function properly. Use the text tool to rename the terminal labels. Thought it should have been rectified in ver (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
