Cool new LabVIEW features - VI Snippets

Next year, LabVIEW is being updated to LabVIEW 2011. The previous version of LabVIEW for FRC was version 8.6, released in 2008. There have been a lot of neat features released in LabVIEW in the last 3 years. I intend to highlight several of these features that I think are relevant to FIRST. Look for more posts in the upcoming months.



Have you ever tried to ask for help with LabVIEW code on chiefdelphi? You could either post a screenshot of the code, and hope that all the relevant parts are visible (not easy if there are a lot of case statements) or you could post the vi, and hope that people have LabVIEW available to open the file to help you.

Now, there is a tool called VI Snippets. It is a PNG image of your code, that also contains the code itself. You can look at the picture, or you can import it to LabVIEW by just dragging and dropping. It makes it really easy to share code. I've attached an example of a VI Snippet. You can read more about VI Snippets on the NI website. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9330
