This example allows you to easily update your Icon within your VI.

Description

The Icon Updater 1.0 which allows you to easily update your Icon within your VI. Now we should all be updating our Icons to show appropriate images but sometimes you just can not be bothered. Well here is the way around that, all you have to do is place this SubVI in your code run your code once, select an image, then your done. You can now remove my subVI from your VI.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Place my SubVI in your block diagram and wire a "This VI" Reference to it. (notice that the Icon is the default Icon).
2. Run your VI, a browser will open with google images search for the name of your VI, in this case "temperature" and a dialog box will pop up in LabVIEW. First select an image and save it to your PC. (this can be anywhere but remember where)
3. Select the saved image in the LabVIEW dialog box (remember where you saved the image).
4.  Notice that your Icon has now changed.
5. Remove the SubVI and carry on coding.
