add sub VI

[mrish]

hey all,

I am new to LabView and I have a very stupid question but I just can't find the answer.

I have managed to interface with an optical spectrum analyzer: write, read, make it dynamic as I need. 

I did it with a VI called main and many other VI which I use as sub VI by copping their block diagram and do "create subVI". now that everything is working properly I want to wrap it in a more organized way.

so my question is - how do I add  a subVI? I know how to create one from functions in the block diagram - but lets say I accedently delete it - how can I add it back without coping its block diagram and create a subVI again? and how can I rename it instead of the default number?

thanks, Avishay

Make sure you save your subVIs somewhere on your disk.  Then right-click on your block diagram and select "Select a VI...":

This will bring up a file browsing window, and then you can navigate to where the VI is saved and select it.

First of all, you should be using a project to organize your code.  Then it is as simple as dragging the VI you want from the project explorer onto your block diagram.

You could also drag the VI file from Windows Explorer onto your block diagram.  The Select VI palette item is the other common way.

Drag from Explorer, project environment, other vi or if you have the vi open, you can drag it's icon to another VI to use it as sub-vi.
