Re: Labview objects not distinct?

LabVIEW is a data-flow language. It works a little bit "inside out" from the way you're trying to think of it. Variables (and by extension objects) are represented by the wires between blocks. As Greg said, the blocks represent function calls.

I think it's best not to try to understand it based on what you know of other languages. The more knowledge you bring to the task, the more you will have to unlearn before you can get to know LabVIEW on its own terms.


In your specific example of the Motor Open, you shouldn't be doing anything with the vi front panel. You should create a constant wired to the Invert input of the vi icon (right-click the connector on the icon and choose Create->Constant from the popup menu) and set that constant to be either T or F.
