Password protect only part of my block diagram

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi.

 

Is there possible to only protect part of a labview bloack diagram? I want people to use the VI and be able to make changes to it, but some parts (Sub VI`s) I have already made and should not be modified.

 

With kind regards

 

Espen

Make the parts you want to protect into subVIs and password protect those.

Hi.

 

 

No, this only allows me to password protect the hole block diagram. I only want to protect some.

 

I am making a labview assignment for my students, and i dont want the assigment to be to extensive. So I want to make some of the VI my self and let the studens make some of the VI themself.

 

I will try Lynns suggestion below and password protect some sub vi`s.

 

Thanks!

To avoid frustrating the students I recommend that you explain to them that you have password protected some of the subVIs and why. Some kind of mark on the subVI icon ( a small "PW" in one corner?) could be used to immediately indicate which VIs are protected.
