I've recently started getting this error when I try to run the dashboard.

Error 74 has occured at Unflatten from String in DashboardMain.vi
Possible reasons:
Memory or data structure corrupt

I have a Sub-VI in which I am sending data from the 3 of the DS analog inputs to the dashboard using the method described in the document posted her:
http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2978
I created the dashboard typedef with three numeric indicators in a cluster and set the typedef to Strict Type Def.

I am running 3.0a and have rebuilt the dashboard since upgrading.
Any ideas what is causing this? Does it matter if the subVI sending data to the dashboard is used in several different locations in the code?

I can't be specific without looking at the code or debugging it, but this error means that the buffer doesn't have the right amount of data to unflatten. Put a probe on the dashboard string and see if you can make sense of the string. Also check that the decode type matches what you expect. If the encode type and decode type differ, you will either get this message or just leave data off the end.
