Everything You Need to Know about VI Scripting in LabVIEW

[Darren]

Performing repetitive tasks in any area of life can be draining. This is especially true in programming, where time spent repeatedly making the same mechanical edit (or visually searching for some hidden problem) is time that you could have spent being creative. In the LabVIEW world, the technology that enables programmatic code modification and inspection is called VI Scripting. Whether you want to add a new VI-based feature to the LabVIEW editor, or programmatically find and fix a specific issue in your codebase, VI Scripting is the technology that enables you to automate repetitive tasks so you have more time to implement all your brilliant ideas.

A video recording of this presentation is available here.

Really nice introduction to VI Scripting, I would love to see if you have more advanced (private?) stuff about VI scripting!

Also, the example code you show at 14:55 about scripting the "Retain all errors" property on Merge Errors is actually my code (with all due respect to Santhosh):

Sorry for the misattribution! I will update the slides immediately.
