Importing or Exporting Scripts
If you already have a script written in the LabVIEW MathScript syntax or the MATLAB® language syntax, you can import it into LabVIEW. You also can save a script written in LabVIEW to a text file.
Complete the following steps to import a script into a script node in LabVIEW.
- Select a MathScript Node or a MATLAB script node and drag out a region to place the script node on the block diagram.
- MathScript Node
- MATLAB script node
 |
Note You can create script nodes only in the LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems. If a VI contains a script node, you can run the VI in all LabVIEW packages. |
- Right-click the script node and select Import from the shortcut menu to display a file dialog box.
- Select the file you want to import and click the OK button. The script text appears in the node.
Complete the following steps to save a script to a text file.
- Right-click the MathScript Node or MATLAB script node and select Export from the shortcut menu to display a file dialog box.
- Enter the name to use for the text file or select a file to overwrite.
- Click the OK button.
- Open the script in the LabVIEW MathScript Window or the MATLAB software.
MathScripts and scripts written in the MATLAB language syntax are text files. Although text files usually have a .txt extension, MathScript, like the MATLAB software and other mathematics software, processes scripts with a .m extension.
