When we used LV, we were aware that LV had lots of useful data types, but we didn't use the feature mentioned above. To solve the problem of inconsistent units we made all of our outputs clusters that we could unbundle, and each element of the bundle would have a meaningful name with units. Having all the bundle/unbundle, index/build array vi's everywhere got confusing, especially while trying to figure out arrays of clusters and clusters of arrays. In order to simplify the block diagrams, we decided to do all of our math in formula nodes, and figure out all of our equations on a piece of paper, while making sure to check units. This system works, but explaining to newer programmers what type defs are, and how 3d arrays are split into 2d arrays was really tough, and was why we switched to java.
