Hi Woully,
If the computer running the shared variable engine goes down or crashes for some reason, any subscribers will receive error -1950679023
from the shared variable node error out terminal.
I have some questions:
Which version of LAbVIEW do you use?
Do these two applications run on the same machine?
Is this failure reproducable? Meant does the error occour at startup or after a defined amount of time?
Have you tried DataSocket instead of shared variables?
In addition, you can find a good tutorial using shared variables following this link: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679
