Case Tunel "Variant to Data"

[JICHFI]

 

Wouldn't be nice to have a configurable tunel in case structure which receives a Variant?

Regarding each case we could specify which datatype it is, by right-clicking the tunel and getting a new window to define the type.

Then we wouldn't need to wire a "Variant to Data" sub-vi and a control/constant to define the datatype.

IMHO, that's a little too obfuscated for me...

I agree. Sometimes minimalism simply makes things too confusing. Reminds of my stochastic process texbooks from grad school "and we can clearly see (without showing you how to perform the 48 steps to get there) that..."

You also didn't leave any room for the error I/O (which is important, as the primitive will throw an error if the type is wrong).

[JICHFI]

I have to confess that I didn't think about the error handling. And the fact that we would have to "right click", "define type",... for each case is a bit annoying.

I should find a better way to pass data from producer loop to consumer loop for each case.
