Hi ,
I am a newbie here , started exploring labview recently. I have a VI (say MAIN.vi) that contains a slider as an indicator. The program acquires signals from a potentiometer when user turns a knob and the value of the slider changes according to the turns. The maximum volt output of the potentiometer drops gradually with use. So I needed to create a 'wrapper' VI that allows user to acquire the new min. and max output from the potentiometer. I created this wrapper VI and was able to get the values.Now I need to open the front panel of MAIN.vi from the wrapper VI and calibrate the slider indicator there by changing the min and max property on it. I figured out how to use fp.open property of the VI reference for MAIN.vi from the wrapper vi , but I have not been able to figure out how to change the indicator property or pass the values to MAIN.vi and then change it programatically. Any ideas would be very useful. PLease let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Sindy
