Express VIs in LabVIEW


Some days ago, I started getting experience with the so-called Express VIs in LabVIEW (8.6).

It has turned out that I should put them into %somewhere%/user.lib/_express, i. e. outside the project directory.

If I do so, they are of use for me and only for me. As soon as someone else tries to work with this project, e.g. if it is in a source control repository or something else, he cannot do so because he hasn't my Express VI templates.

Is there a way to define an Express VI when it does not com from the menu, but lies in the project directory?


Solution

  • You can save express VIs to any location, just add their containing folder to the palette with Tools>Advanced>Change visible palettes.
