Compiling with external file for subvis

[bfarley]

When using this option LV compiles top level vis into the exe and puts all subvis into a data.llb. I would like to specify which files go into the data.llb. Is there a way to do this?

If not, the only way to do this I can see is to compile the subvis into dlls and create wrappers for them. I'm looking at doing this for ~100 vis. Seems like a massive amount of work. Suggestions?

Thanks,

I would suggest you to use the �VI Library Manager�� from the �Tools� menu. Using this, you can convert directories into LLBs and vice versa. You can then manually add the VIs or simply create the whole data.llb file.

Another option is to use a dummy VI as a wrapper, put all the wanted VIs into this wrapper. You can then place the wrapper VI inside a dummy state in a Case Structure inside the main VI. Even though the case will never execute, the VIs will still be included in the LLB.


I hope this answered your question.
