A subVI is a LabVIEW sub program which can be used as a function in the parent program to perform a specific task. • Disable the Enable auto wiring option. This prevents LabVIEW from automatic ally connecting adjacent blocks. Although it seems useful to have auto wiring enables, it is my experience that the auto wiring is a little annoying since it ten ds to draw wires between blocks when you do not want any wire. • Disable Place front panel elements as icons. This causes LabVIEW to use sm all terminal icons on the block diagram. If you, in stead, activate this option, th e terminal icons are larger, with a mimic of the element as it appears at the fro nt panel. The figure below shows the difference.

If the VI contains errors, the VI does not start, and the Run button is grey and broken. • The Run Continuously button is used only for testing purposes when you want to run the VI over and over again. It works as when you continuously click the Run button after the VI has stopped. ( Unfortunately many users erroneously clicks the Run Continuously button to run the VI in normal o perations. Actually, you need this button very seldom.) • The Abort button is used to abort the operation of the VI. It is used for abnormal or uncontrolled s top. Typically, the programmer will have put a specific button or switch on the front panel to provid e for a controlled stop. In level_meas.vi there is a red stop button at the bottom of the front panel. • The Pause button is used to pause the VI as it runs. By clicking the Pause button again the VI ru ns again.
