Globals/locals metrics, available in the LabVIEW Professional Development System, appear in the VI Metrics window when you place a checkmark in the Globals/locals checkbox. The following metrics specify the global and local variables of a VI:

• Global reads—Number of reads of global variables on the block diagram.
• Global writes—Number of writes to global variables on the block diagram.
• Local reads—Number of reads of local variables on the block diagram.
• Local writes—Number of writes to local variables on the block diagram.
