Re: Where is SD WRITE?

Last year, the palette of VIs for reading and writing had an SD Read and an SD Write as well as an NT read and write.

For 2015 decided to combine them by overloading the name parameter. Virtually all of the writes used by teams should be to the SmartDashboard subTable, and just a few of the utilities such as the test code will need to write to other tables. So the SD and NT functions were combined such that a name starting with / is treated as absolute and equivalent to an NT call and a name that doesn't start with / is placed under SmartDashboard subtable. I'm pretty sure we left the old functions in for compatibility, but removed them from the palette.
