LabVIEW with version control

[tom_z]

Hi,

      I am using LabVIEW with version control and only want to check out the VI which I need to modify. If I changed a subVI all the VIs directly or indrectly called this VI got recompiled and in order to save them I need to check out all the VIs are affected. If I only check out the file I need to modify and ignore other recompiled VIs the problem is if I use typedef ENUM and I still want the automatically updated VI got saved. Does anybody run into this problem?

    Thanks for help!

    Regards,

    Tom

Yes, it can be a problem since LabVIEW stores the source and compiled code in the same file. There is an option to separate source from compiled code that addresses this problem. I have never used it and don't know if it causes any other problems.

Hi Steve,

      Could you give more information or where can I find the information about how to separate source from compiled code?

     Thanks for help!
