Building compact main application with many subvis by "call by reference node"

Hi all Labview Genius,

 

I am thinking of building the compact main application with several subvi in the shortest time and minmum changes of codes, by means of  "call by reference node"

Here is the picture below, It's just a draft.

What are your comments? 

Do you think it is possible if I created a library of many consistent subvis and as long as the type specifiers of all subvi look same?

Hi Andrey.

 

Thanks. I am aware of type specifier, but looking at the whole picture do you think it would be workable.

Thanks again.

Sure it's feasible. I once did something similar. In my app, based on certain parameters (i.e. a serial number), a file with a list of tests would be loaded. These were names of VIs and an array of references would be built up. Each VI would be loaded and run in order.

Hi Dennis. Thanks Glad to know that it would work wo having  to dwell too much of my time and energy on the main  application. Instead we can channel more time and energy on building up the large library of the subvis, therefore building the application in the shortest time.

Just fyi, that's one of the main reasons for TestStand.
