Scripting is a recently released, powerful feature of LabVIEW. However, using raw scripting for many tasks can be daunting, due to the huge amount of code it requires. The code generation engine (CodeGen engine) is a partial solution to this problem. The CodeGen engine is a template based scripting application that can be used for the vast majority of large scripting tasks. It is used internally by the DAQ Assistant, Motion Assistant, SignalExpress and many other applications to create LabVIEW code.
Attached are documentation, a simple test example and API files. The engine itself is installed on most systems already. If you do not have it, install DAQmx to get it.
As of 2012, the engine is available on Linux platforms, as well.

Hi altenbach,
The links should be working now. We had a minor issue with file paths that our team resolved this morning.
Any chance of a small example that gives some idea of how to start using this?
Done. I added a simple example I have used for testing. It is written in LabVIEW 2009.
It could really use a good LabVOOP front end, but I have never managed to get enough time together to do it.
