Exporting Labview Code in readable format

[SarahDavid]

Hi.. I got stuck in a serious problem, need help. Can I get any suggestion about how to read/export/transform labview VI into readable format.

Hi.. How can i get the Labview code in the DFIR format ?

[GerdW]

Hi Sarah,

you cannot.

Please keep related questions in the same thread!

Besides, that would be anything but "readable" in relation to your original thread!

Readable by humans or readable by LabVIEW? A simple VI can be read by LabVIEW and by any human that has LabVIEW installed. 😄

It would really help if you could add a few more sentences to explain the purpose of it all (e.g. archiving, documentation, patent application, documentation for the supervisor, etc. etc.).

Please note that translating LabVIEW code into any non-VI form will be lossy and basically irreversible. There are many thing that are not visible in pictures (mechanical actions of buttons, configurations of express VIs, execution settings, hierarchies, etc. etc.)

for example, UML model of any system can be easily exported in XMI/XML format and that XMI can be easily readable by code written in any other language (like java etc.). As, I am working with labview and I am interested in exporting VI in any other readable format but the only ways I have found are either .jpg or .dll file (but they are readable 😞 ). Can I export it in any other format?

or Can I get DFIR graph of corresponding VI from G compiler??

Did you read message #4?

You forgot PDF as mentioned (or implied) in message #2.

LabVIEW also supports HTML, RTF and plain text documentation…

I want to get equivalent representation of VI in any other textual language

Then you need to recreate (aka rewrite) the algorithm used for your VI in that other "textual language"…
