Why do I get "you have connected two terminals of different types"

[fios]

I'm getting a similar message.
 
The VI used is this: 
Temperature measurement.vi from NI example finder.
 
Using a FP-TC-120 with k type thermocouple and LabView 7.1 and latest software I can read the temperatures in MAX but get the old You have connected 2 terminals of different types.
These cannot be wired together because their data types (numeric, string, array, cluster, etc.) do not match.  Show the Context Help window to see what data type is required.
The type of the source is FieldPoint IO.
The type of the sink is void.error when I try to run it.  (Broken wire is clearly visable). 
 
I tried it with these two settings also,
 
FieldPoint\FP @ 169_254_0_2\FP-TC-120 @1\Thermocouple type @Channel 0 2
 
FieldPoint\FP @ 169_254_0_2\FP-TC-120 @1\Channel 0
 
and still get the broken wire / incompatable terminal types message.  I even tried taking the advice above, concerning 'disable indexing' at the tunnel.  However when attempting this the option is there (well enable indexing is) but in faded text, as it is not selectable.  Any other ideas how I can test my system out and run a simple display temperature on screen?
 
Thanks

Did you modify the example? Which wire is broken?
Could you post maybe a screenshot (no bmp please)?

[fios]

No, it wasn't modified.  I just used browse to insert the temp probe selection.  Got a screenie for you though, jpeg format. :smileywink:   The wee purple bridge is where I attempted to right click and 'disable indexing' but the option was faded, and so unavailable.
 
thanks so far :)

If you right-click the FP-VI select "Select Type" in the context menu. There you can select the type you want to use (Automatic should work best).
I'm sure the FP-tag doesn't match the datatype to acquire.

Long shot,

try disconnecting the FP VI, delete it and then replace it with the same function again.  Now wire up and see what happens.

Long shot, like I said.

Hope this helps

Shane.

Hope this screenshot is what you mean.  Thanks for the help so far by the way :)
 
Jpeg format again.
