Make model template names more consistent

Status: New

Many advanced funtions in the optimization and fitting palettes allow the use of a "VI model" given as a strictly typed VI reference to be defined by the user. A great feature!

 

LabVIEW provides various templates containing the correct connector pattern. Here is a list of the templates I found:

 

in labview\vi.lib\gmath\NumericalOptimization:

  • ucno_objective function template.vit

  • cno_objective function template.vit

  • LM model function and gradient.vit

in labview\vi.lib\gmath

  • Zero Finder f(x) 1D.vit

  • Zero Finder f(x) nD.vit

  • 1D Evolutionary PDE Func Template.vit

  • 2D Evolutionary PDE Func Template.vit

  • 2D Stationary PDE Func Template.vit

  • ODE rhs.vit

  • Global Optimization_Objective Function.vit

  • DAE Radau 5th Order Func Template.vit

  • function_and_derivative_template.vit

  • function_template.vit

As you can see, the naming is quite inconsistent:

  • all files are templates as is immediately obvious from the file extension! (*.vit )
  • some containing the word "_template" (undescore/lowercase t)
  • some containing the word " template" (space/lowercase t)
  • some contain the word " Template") (space/uppercase T)
  • some don't contain the word template in any form (good! :D)

 Since the extension fully defines them as templates, maybe the word "template" could be scrubbed from all the filenames, making things more uniform and consistent.

 

Idea Summary: remove the word "template" from all model template names that contain it.
