Hi Welgriv,

 

open the global VI holding the global variables. Right-click a global variable control to search for it's instances!

Or open the block diagram and right-click the global variable in there to search for it's references!

(Both will work nicely when you have the main VI in memory…)

 

One more approach: Open the project and search for callers of the global VI…

Best regards,
GerdW
