Create Cluster (Scripting) Using LabVIEW

[Dan_K]

Overview

This VI will create a cluster out of selected controls in the user VI

Description

Scripting in LabVIEW gives you an access to a great deal of options for controlling and modifying LabVIEW code. VI Scripting enables users to write a LabVIEW program that can generate and inspect LabVIEW code. It exposes many additional VI Server classes, properties, and methods. It allows you to create new VIs, Front Panel controls, Block Diagram objects and wires as well as traverse diagram object hierarchies and modify code. In this example, a given script will take all the user VI selected controls and bundle them into a cluster. The user need to make sure to select the controls he wants clustered, while specifying the VI he is currently editing, so that the script knows which VI to reference.

For more information on scripting see the Developer Zone Community: LabVIEW Scripting.

Requirements

LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Select the controls you want clustered
