Programmatically Delete Shared Variables from a Library Using an Executable

[Jennifer_R]

Introduction

The LabVIEW Datlogging and Supervisory Control Module makes it possible to programmatically deploy libraries as well as modify shared variables and processes. This example deploys a library, lists the shared variables, and deletes user-selected variables from the Shared Variable Engine as well as the project library on disk.

Steps to Complete

Run prog_delete_var.vi, attached, and follow the steps on the front panel.  The default is to use the attached library, to_modify.lvlib, saved to the C:\ directory but it is possible to browse to any library.

Additional Notes

This code can run as a VI or a stand-alone application.  If building it into an executable, be sure to check "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time support" under the Advanced application properties.  Running the executable requires the LabVIEW DSC development software or the LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System.
