This example highlights how to create a plug-in architecture where VIs that have a common set of inputs and outputs are loaded dynamically at run-time.
1. Open and run "Calculator.vi." Notice that only Add, Subtract and Multiply functions are available (these are the three functions that are originally included in the "Math Functions" folder included in this .zip file.
2. Stop the application.
3. Move "Divide.vi" in the "Math Functions" directory.
4. Run "Calculator.vi" again. Toggle through the operations and notice that divide is now an option.
While very basic, this example show how to create a basic framework that can be added to after development to the original code ends. This can be very valuable in the case of code validation, or when creating a .exe that you want to add to later on.
