LabVIEW Full: find difference between two VIs

[vix]

I've bought the LabVIEW Full, but now I read that Source Code Control could only be integrated into LabVIEW Professional

I've also read in the forum that the utility LVDiff could help developers finding differences between two VIs.

Can LVDiff be used also with Full version of LabVIEW?

I can't believe I must buy LabVIEW Professional only to do a VIs diff....

I don't know if it is in the Full version or not.  But if you open a vi (or a blank vi) and click on tools there is a menu called compare with a sub-menu compare vi's.

A quick search looks like you might need the professional system for the vi compare.

Take a look at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3493C58EA0E842FA86256F86006142C0

I've never tried to compare a vi with one created by a higher platform..

I suspect that it could be done; however, you may not be able to "see" the code developed by LV-Pro, since a more basic version may/would not have those functions available.  Then, you are back to square 1.

One thig you could do is post your code and someone could post the code snippets (images) from it.

It seems that I was right: a simple "file difference" between two VIs can only be done with LV-Pro...

...and It's hard to develope efficient code and track changes without a "file difference" feature!

I think that LV-Pro is the only platform suitable for code developers.... unfortunately

if the price difference is not much you can upgrade to Pro... Just try calling your local NI rep and ask them..(you may also get an dscount who knows? 🙂   )
