automatic comparing vi and retrieve their differences

 

Hi,

 

I am given a directory of VIs that I need to compare to another directory of VI and to identify what has been changed.  I am thinking to create a VI to automate the process.  I am using LabView 2009.  From the control search, I see "SCC Compare VIs.vi", but I don't see how I can get the differences information.  I want to know if there is a VI to do that?  Or if there is some method that I can get the differences automatically?

 

Thanks.

Tools >>> Compare >>> Compare VIs...

 

OR

 

Tools >>> Compare >>> Compare VI Hierachies

 

Will do a one to one compare and when you select as much will open the VI diagrams and put a red circle around the difference along with text describing the difference.

 

Do you need more than that?

Usually you can use the steps which Ben describe above. I think there is no way to do in Labview you instead of comparing LV Blockdiagram or FP sizes in Byte. You can do it like this-> See attached screenshot. I hopt it helps.

Because there are a lot of VIs and I was hoping that there could be some automatic way to capture the data.

 

Thanks for all the input!
