Filename: 204229.llb
Requirements: View

This example program is a LabVIEW VI that creates a new Sequence File, adds a File Global that is a container with two properties, and adds a step that calls a LabVIEW code module (with the new File Global as an output of the code module).

Within the LLB are four VIs:

CreateSequenceFile.vi
AddFileGlobal.vi
AddStep.vi
Module.vi

CreateSequenceFile.vi is the Top-level VI. Module.vi is the LabVIEW code module that will be called by the step you are creating. The other two are sub-VIs used within the Top-level VI.

To run this example, open up CreateSequenceFile.vi. The user can specify what type of step to create, what the step name will be, and which step group the step will be created in. Run the VI. The user will also be prompted to specify the path and name of the new Sequence File being created.

You can now open the newly created sequence file. Set a breakpoint at the step. Run the sequence. Add the File Global to the view window and watch as its values change as you step over the step.
