compressor:
It looks like you are only setting the Smart Dashboard variable once when the program begins. Unless you put the CompressorGetEnableState and SD Write functions in a loop, you won't get updated values.

range:
I don't understand why you're doing the analog configuration every 100 ms. It just needs to be set once, typically in Begin. The only thing you need to do in the Periodic Task loop is read the voltage and set the SD variable.


Thank you for posting your code as vi snippets. It let me clean up the wiring and see something very confusing. In both cases, you are apparently sending the RefNum from the RefNum Get function to a front panel indicator, and the RefNum you are using to read the value is coming from a separate front panel control. Can you explain what you are trying to do there?
