Finding Example VIs

LabVIEW includes hundreds of example VIs you can use and incorporate into VIs that you create. In addition to the example VIs that ship with LabVIEW, you also can access hundreds of example VIs on the NI Developer Zone. You can modify an example VI to fit an application, or you can copy and paste from one or more examples into a VI that you create.

Complete the following steps to browse or search installed example VIs and example VIs on the Web.

1. Select Help»Find Examples to launch the NI Example Finder. You also can click the arrow on the Open button on the LabVIEW dialog box and select Examples from the shortcut menu to launch the NI Example Finder.
2. Use the Browse or Search page of the NI Example Finder to find an example VI.

Note  If you add .llb or .vi files to the labview\examples directory, you can select Help»Find Examples to browse them by directory structure, but you cannot browse them by functionality or search them by keyword. You must add VIs you want to appear in the NI Example Finder as top-level VIs. You also can prepare example VIs to appear in the NI Example Finder to browse by functionality and search by keywords.

Refer to the NI Example Finder Help for more information about finding examples using the NI Example Finder. Click the Help button in the NI Example Finder to display the NI Example Finder Help.
