Creating a global variable

[Greg McKaskle]

You can add to an existing global file, or you can create another.

To add to an existing one, double click on one of the existing globals such as the Robot one in the template. Once opened, add more controls to the global file giving them good names. Then where you want to access them, you drag the global VI icon to the diagram and select the ones you just named.

If you want to create a new file, you can go to structures and drop the global? from the palette. Double click on it, drop the control with a good name, save, then click to change the ? to the global you just added.
