You can display several types of help content for the LabVIEW MathScript Window by calling different help commands from the Command Window or Script Editor. The following table lists the help commands you can call and the type of help these commands display.

Note  By default, these commands display help in an HTML Help window. To display help in the Output Window of the LabVIEW MathScript Window, remove the checkmark from the Display HTML Help? checkbox on the MathScript: Window Options page of the LabVIEW MathScript Properties dialog box.
