Make Artificial Data Dependency in LabVIEW
Sometime, we need the data flow in LabVIEW not to be naturally. In this case we can use sequences structure or artificial data dependency to realize it.
But, usually a single frame sequence with an error wire or other data wire is sufficient. A multiple case sequence structure is not needed. If you use artificial data dependency in LabVIEW, my advice is to add a note to the diagram to explain why the unused signal is there. Otherwise someone may remove it in the future because it appeared to be unnecessary and so the data dependency will be missing. And it’s a good idea to create a subVI for the portion of the code which has not a natural data dependency and add error clusters in the subVI. Then the subVI allows the data dependency and may have the bonus of reducing the space on the diagram.
