VI Analyzer Toolkit Tutorial

LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit The National Instruments LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit is a tool that inspects LabVIEW VIs and recommends modifications to the front panel, block diagram, VI properties and documentation that improve code performance, usability and maintainability. The toolkit includes over 60 different tests that can be run on any VI. The VI Analyzer makes specific recommendations for improving VIs, but does not force changes to be implemented. However, regular use of the toolkit will improve any LabVIEW developer’s programming technique. This tutorial is designed to introduce you to some of the functionality included in the VI Analyzer Toolkit. Topics include using the VI Analyzer user interface to interactively inspect code, customizing the VI Analyzer tests, reviewing the analysis results for a VI Analyzer task and generating reports to document test failures over time. Feel free to explore other parts of the LabVIEW environment as you follow along – LabVIEW has numerous features to offer.
