Merging Multiple VI's

[adi51]

Hi, I am working with GW-Instek GDS-820 oscilloscope. I have downloaded instrument driver from the manufacturer website. I simply want to merge different VI's to control different functions of oscilloscope. For example VI for voltage measurement and VI for waveform display are different. How to merge both VI's? I am new to labview and need simple solution (I have already tried Merge Tool).

You have much to learn about LabVIEW before we can give you a meaningful answer.  You might want to check out this link.

But any advice that could help?

Given your inexperience with LabVIEW, there's nothing wrong with running them separately.  I think that would be the easiest solution.

Actually i am working with labview "Web publishing tool " for online experimentation project. Instead of loading separate VI every time for controlling each function of oscilloscope every time on the client side, i simply want a single VI which includes all the function present in other VI's. Any solution will be helpful. Thanks.

"Simply want" and "simply done" are rarely bedfellows.  You will actually need to code a user interface where you can select what function you want to use and then call the approriate VI.

thanks anyway 🙂

Sorry about that.  It's like merging two dlls.

This is extremely basic. You just place the different VIs in the driver onto a new block diagram. Wir the error in/out connections to control execution order. There are hundreds of examples that come with LabVIEW. Look at them. Take the tutorials and then post back.
