I am a LabVIEW developer and I always release my xyz.vi to technician.
The technician will always customise his own front panel (ie modifies my VI) so that the buttons and numeric displays are located at position he wants, and look different from my original front panel.
The problem is that, everytime I give him a new release (e.g only algorithm changes in block diagram), he will have to re-modify the front panel.
Is there a way to go around this?
Can he keep his own front panel design while he still use my block diagram? i.e same block diagram, but different front panels, in a single VI file?

No its not possible (upto my knowledge) becuase whatever you keep it in the front panel you are writing the code behind it for its functionality. Instead why don't you get the requirement for the GUI from the technician and make it yourself and then make an exe and give it to the technician (This what we normally do) because when you are running an application you its always better to have the exe running. We never gave the code to technician for our code modification.

Hi,
The problem is, we use computer monitor with different resolution/size. My front panel design looks fine on my screen but when he run my VI, part of the front panel is not shown due to his small screen. Thats why he has to change the front panel layout himself, always.
Is there a solution to this.

Then keep the resolution of your monitor as small and develop the UI. The recommended resolution is 1024 * 768 (I guess) and set the properties of the VI front panel to maintain the proportion for different monitor resolution.

You can use Subversion... since you just have to modify the code
