comparing Vis Programatically

[vishnu]

Hi

   I am trying to compare 2 VIs using the CMP Compare Two VIs.vi from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project\procmphier.llb and am not successfull. The program always througs error 1004 saying "The VI is not in memory." though I have the 2 VIs am trying to compare opened. Has anyone tried to do this before.

Hi Vishnu,

I was able to get this VI to work fine when calling it as a subVI.  You must make sure you specify the VI names correctly...note that a VI name includes its file extension, so the name of c:\sample.vi would be "sample.vi", not just "sample".

Good luck,

Hi Darren

     Thanks for the reply. I got that working. Do you know if I can compare 2 altogether different VIs with same name but in different locations.

Not with 7.1. You cannot open more than one VI with the same name. You would have to rename one of them first or upgrade to LabVIEW 8.
