In the application note about Labview performance and memory management, it states that you should avoid global and local variables when possible.
>From what I can tell, your variables in labview are either controls/indicators, or global variables.If you want to write to a control, or read from an indicator, then you are forced to use a local variable. The application note states that everytime you use a local variable, a copy of variable is made. Can someone explain to me why this is? Also, if I am writing to an indicator in many different places in a VI diagram, then it is convienent to use local variables...is it possible to use the indicator directly in multiple places (meaning that the indicator shows up on the diagram multiple times)?
