source code comparator

[sharinganez]

Hi, this is not a technical thread. I just wonder whether is there any software can do the comparism for 2 LabVIEW files with slight differences?

As i know, for text programming, we definitely can compare and figure out whats the difference between 2 source code.

Please kindly share your knowledge of this.

TQ.

Tools >> Compare >> Compare VI's

Sorry. I didnt see any [Compare] inside [Tools].

FYI, im using LabVIEW 8.5.

Does 8.5 have this options?

What type of LabVIEW system do you have?

Looking at the help file, it looks like it comes with the Professional development system.

See this link for an exe program that uses a third party source code control to do a comparison between two VIs.

The exe that the link mentions is the Compare VIs tool that is only available in the professional version. It is actually the source code control programs that can be configured to use this instead of what they normally use (i.e. 'diff').

Mine is Full development system.

I guess nothing else i can do other than upgrade to Professional Development system.

Thank for the answer guys.
