Issue Details

Initialising a New Data Value Reference with any non-double data type inside the "True" case of a Case Structure and passing this through a feedback node back into the case structure breaks the wire:

Solution

This is reported in bug 1632130. There are several workarounds available to use if wishing to use Data Value References in an FGV form:
  • The issue does not appear if the Data Value Reference is created in the "False" case. Reverse the cases and use a "Not" function to the logic entering the case structure

  • The issue does not appear if using shift registers inside a one-cycle while loop:

  • This issue can also appear when using a numeric-choice or string-choice case structure. In this scenario, drag the case that creates the Data Value Reference to the top of the case list in the drop-down menu with the Right-Click -> "Rearrange Cases" button. It does not matter which case is the default case.
