Labview objects not distinct?

[Joe Ross]

When you call a VI as a sub-vi, all front panel objects become connectors on the sub-vi icon. You can then wire constants to the connectors. The individual connector values are not shared between sub-vis.

I'd suggest looking through the videos on http://frcmastery.com

LV icons do not represent objects. The icons represent function calls. Thus when you open a subVI definition and change that definition, all calls are modified.

Not to complicate things, but LV does support objects, and again they are not represented by icons, but by data instances such as constants or elements returned by other functions or methods.
